BGCI is committed to working towards creating a working climate in which all staff are treated fairly and with dignity and respect. The aims of the Dignity at Work Policy are to:

• Support and sustain a positive (thriving) working environment for all staff, free from any form of inappropriate or unacceptable behaviour
• Make it clear that discrimination and harassment are unacceptable and that all staff have a role to play in creating a thriving environment for everyone, free from discrimination and harassment
• Provide a framework for respect and good conduct to prevent and eliminate all forms of bullying and harassment, including racial and sexual harassment and sexual misconduct
• To highlight the options available to individuals who feel they are or have been subject to bullying, harassment, racial discrimination, sexual misconduct, or any other inappropriate or unacceptable behaviour
• Provide a mechanism by which complaints can, wherever possible, be addressed in a timely way.
