Congress notes with concern, the rise in cases of accusations of bullying against lecturers and the increased use of bullying policies by management against lecturers, and their representatives.
Congress instructs the NEC to
1. Immediately investigate and monitor the current situation in FE and HE. In particular reviewing how policies on bullying can often ignore any form of natural justice by allowing evidence from anonymous accusers.
2. To develop a policy of support for members, to help them clear their names, and help them take to court their accusers.
3. To immediately review the support given to those lay officers who are harassed, bullied and victimised by college managements.
4. To review the regional support that is given to officers and their branch in fighting such attacks.
