Rape Crisis Scotland

Supporting male survivors of sexual violence

Bullying and harassment of any kind are in no-one’s interest and should not be tolerated in the workplace, but if you are being bullied or harassed it can be difficult to know what to do about it.
This leaflet:
• gives employees1 basic information about bullying and harassment
• summarises the responsibilities of employers
• outlines some of the options open to you
• points you to sources of further information and advice.

UNISON believes that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect at work. Harassment of any kind prevents this happening and should not be tolerated in the workplace. Harassment is a major problem in many workplaces, affecting millions of workers. Work related harassment can be based on prejudice and discriminatory attitudes. Any such behaviour can have a devastating effect on an individual, affecting both their work performance and/or their personal life.

Harassment has no place in work and we want to see all forms of harassment challenged and eliminated. This guide can be used by branches to negotiate policies which prevent, tackle and deal with incidences of harassment in the workplace.

This leaflet explains why the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (the prosecutor) may need to obtain sensitive and personal records, held by bodies such as the NHS, and how this information may be used.

Rape Crisis Scotland has developed a new information leaflet for survivors who have been attacked overseas.  The leaflet is written from 2 perspectives: that of a survivor who reported whilst still overseas but has subsequently returned to Scotland and that of a survivor who, having returned to Scotland, wishes to report an attack that happened abroad.
