OUH working to tackle bullying and harassment

30/10/2024
Chief Officers at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) have today publicised their plans to tackle bullying and harassment amongst staff.

Terry Roberts, Chief People Officer at OUH, said: "Eradicating bullying and harassment at OUH is an absolute priority for us. Our People Plan states that 'together we make OUH a great place to work where we all feel we belong, and bullying and harassment has no place in this.

"Everyone in our organisation has the right to work in a safe, respectful culture, free of abuse, harassment, bullying, or other inappropriate behaviour."

The Trust has put several measures in place to support staff, including a 'Respectful Resolution' programme to enable earlier and more informal resolution to situations where people are experiencing bullying or disrespectful behaviour, rather than immediately initiating more formal procedures.
  
Professor Meghana Pandit, Chief Executive Officer at OUH, said: "We are all incredibly proud to work for OUH, and I know that this is shared by many people who work for us.

"We know that addressing an issue like bullying and harassment is very important, and  we would like every single one of our OneTeamOneOUH colleagues to feel safe and able to raise issues, and know that these will be taken seriously and addressed in utmost confidence.

"Together we are committed to supporting our colleagues in a way that helps everyone involved to be heard."
