15th August 2009 : Helen Gordon & The Great London Swim Helen Gordon took part in the Great London Swim, a 1-mile swimathon on the River Thames on 15th August to raise money for us. She chose to support us because she is committed to making a change for the better to people's working lives. Helen says; "There is no place for antisocial, bullying behaviour in the workplace. I am studying to become an occupational psychologist and hope to be able to change organisations for the better with effective, fair and appropriate HR and management policies. Through preparing for this tough physical challenge and improving my fitness by training regularly, I hope to raise awareness of this cause and hopefully have fun on the day!".

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SPONSORS

WE ARE LOOKING TO PARTNER WITH EMPLOYERS

We desperately need more helplines and more resources. There is a huge demand for the support services we provide. Currently we provide FREE practical and timely support and counselling, but this is limited. We need to do much more for those suffering with workplace bullying issues.

This is not just about money... We offer Partnership Packages to employers. Simply, in exchange for your support with resources, equipment, Marketing and PR, etc., we will provide support and diversity expertise to you.

Call us on 0845 22 55 787 NOW for details.

“Any organisation partnering with us, or sponsoring us, will benefit from being associated with a Charity committed to combating and eradicating this negative workplace conduct”. - David Pratt: Co Founder

“Clearly, this is a much needed Charity as there is very little, employment support available at a time when it is needed.   We have a dedicated investigation team and a total of four Chartered Fellows of the CIPD working with us, all of whom have an in- depth understanding of employment law”.  Christine Pratt. CEO.

CAN YOU HELP

Would you like to propose that your employer has a 'Dress Down Day' to raise money for our cause? Simply, every day you dress down for work you put £1 in the Charity box. Why not consider this as your way to raise money for us during National Ban Bullying week 2009? You will be surprised just how much money you will raise. Thank you.

Rogue Bosses avoid paying tribunal money. One in 10 successful tribunal claimants are never paid. Of the 15,000 tribunal cases every year that go as far as final settlement, 1,500 of the claimants do not receive their award. For further information please call us on 0845 22 55 787

Radecki v Kirklees Met Borough Council. A teacher was suspended owing to concerns about his abilities. A draft Compromise Agreement was drawn up and specified a termination date and he was removed from the payroll. Negotiations ran for 6 months. Then the employer sent a letter confirming the termination date. The teacher lodged a tribunal claim and the employer tried to have it thrown out as 'out of time'. The EAT upheld the case and said there must be an unequivocal dismissal; this was the date of the letter.

Dickens v 02. Stressed Workers should go home. 02 was sued for mental injury caused by excessive workload in October 2008. It was sufficient that Dickens had complained to 02, ie itg was established that this damage was forseeable. Even though she was not signed off by her GP, 02 was in breach of its Duty of Care.

SCA Packaging v Boyle. Definition of disability has been widened and more illnesses will qualify as a disability. If it is likely that the condition will return without treatment, it should be viewed as "could well happen" and in this case, matters go to a full hearing. More news to follow.
