Dear Ms Franklin

I would also clarify when I mentioned constructive dismissal, I was

referring to the employee directly, similar point about bullying

and harassment complaints, there is no Employment Tribunal claim

called "bullying and harassment". This will usually form part of a

claim for unfair dismissal or one (or more) of the various

discrimination claim and/or under the Protection from Harassment

Act. Could you provide the information on the aforementioned.

Could you provide the information in electronic format via this

website.

Thank you for your full co-operation

Yours Sincerely

Vicky Gray

Your Ref: RFI_957

Dear Ms Gray

With reference to the email from Emlyn Nash of 12 January, we thank you
for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 about
Bullying and Harassment, and please accept our apologies for the delay
in responding.

We have considered your request and enclose the following information:

I would like to know how many employees of the city Council have been
absent from work due to either stress, anxiety, depression or any
combination of those ailments between 1^st August 2004 and 31^st October
2008.

Period Number of Employees

August 04 to March 05 278

April 05 to March 06 456

April 06 to March 07 513

April 07 to March 08 560

April 08 to October 08 349

Total 2156

Please also confirm how many complaints of bullying have been made by
employees of the Council against managers or colleagues during the same
period.

The figure recorded is 38 complaints made, 2 of which were collective
complaints.

There is no record between 1/8/04 and 31/3/06

Please confirm how many employees have claimed constructive dismissal
within the same period for bullying/harassment.

Following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have
established that this information is not held by Cardiff Council.

Please confirm how many claims have been filed against the city council
at the Employment Tribunal within the same period for
bullying/harassment.

2

A Harassment Policy and Procedure has been in place for a number of
years and based on the Council's key values of accountability, working
with others and respect, the Policy outlines the procedure to be
followed where unacceptable behaviour occurs.

In the event of an employee being subjected, or perceiving that they are
subjected, to bullying or harassment the Council provides support as
appropriate to the circumstances of the individual case. This support
may be provided by the manager through meetings and discussions and
possible changes in working arrangements. The employee will, as a matter
of course, be made aware of the Employee Counselling Service and the
opportunity to self refer and attend counselling during working hours.
If there are any associated health related issues, employees can also be
referred to the Council's Occupational Health Service for advice and
support. Other forms of internal support will include the Trade Unions
and staff within People & Organisational Development. External support
and advisory organisations such as Race Equality First, Disability
Rights Commission, Stonewall, etc are also available.

Whilst a range of support mechanisms are available, the type and extent
of the support will be determined by the employee themselves according
to the circumstances of their case and their own personal preference.

We supply this information based on your original request. If this
information does not answer your enquiry or if you feel we have not
fully understood your request, please contact me to clarify your exact
requirements.

If you have any queries or concerns or are in any way dissatisfied with
the handling of your request please do not hesitate to contact me.
