Answer

Please see Appendix One for a breakdown of the number of registered complaints regarding workplace bullying for the years 2015 – 2025. This data also outlines what the actions and/or outcomes were of each case. I am advised that due to the confidentiality of each case, some details have been withheld. This includes issues such as external facilitators, compensation, and the status of the person against whom the complaint is lodged. Additionally, this data has not been consistently captured centrally and therefore is provided to the best of our ability. This is also my response to WPQ 2177 (2026), WPQ 2180 (2026), and WPQ 2548 (2026).
