6.1: Incident Type

The reporter must select at least 1 option.

I would describe what happened as:

Select all that apply (required)

Options:
Cultural Concern

Pop-out definition (only when selected): In the context of the workplace, culture is the everyday behaviours, values and practices that are widely shared, respected and rewarded, regardless of their outcome. Broadly, culture is not behaviours that target individuals (this type of behaviour is more likely to be bullying, discrimination, or harassment), but instead is observed and experienced over time. Certain aspects of culture may have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on an individual or group of individuals, and there may not be an obvious reason for this.

Cultural concerns can range from regular social activities that exclude certain individuals, ‘banter’ or what is viewed as humour being derogatory, or the way that colleagues interact with one another feeling disrespectful.

Bullying

Pop-out definition (only when selected)  Characterised as offensive, intimidating, malicious or insulting behaviour or an abuse of authority through means intended to undermine, humiliate, denigrate or injure the recipient.

Bullying and/or harassment may be by an individual against an individual, perhaps by someone in a position of authority such as a manager or supervisor, or involve groups of people. A manager may be bullied by a direct report. Bullying and/or harassment may be obvious or it may be insidious.

Whatever form bullying and/or harassment takes, it is unwarranted and unwelcome to the individual.

Discrimination

Pop-out definition (only when selected): Discrimination is where you have been treated differently just because of a protected characteristic (for example, age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation).

It may result in, for example, not being selected to work on a particular project, not being promoted, or assumptions being made that you cannot do something because of your personal characteristics or situation.

Harassment
 
Pop-out definition (only when selected): Harassment is unwanted conduct related to a relevant protected characteristic, which has the purpose or effect of violating an individual’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that individual’.

The relevant protected characteristics are age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual orientation.

Harassment may be persistent or an isolated incident. The key element is that the actions or comments are viewed as demeaning and unacceptable to the recipient.

Sexual Harassment or Inappropriate Contact

Pop-out definition (only when selected): Sexual harassment refers to unwanted conduct or advances of a sexual nature, whether in person or online. It can include unwanted physical touching, leering, making sexual comments or jokes, posting sexual pictures online/ group chats or suggestions of benefits in return for sexual favours.

Inappropriate contact refers to unwanted physical or online contact that is often, though not always, sexual in nature.

Physical assault

Pop-out definition (only when selected): Physical assault is when an individual or a group attacks, or attempts to attack a person physically, or threatens to hurt that person. It can be with or without the use of a weapon, and can include scratching, pushing, kicking, punching, throwing things, or physically restraining another person.

Radicalisation, hate and extremism

Pop-out definition (only when selected): Radicalisation and extremism occur when someone starts to believe or engage with extreme views or hateful confrontational or violent language or behaviours in support of a political or social cause. It can be motivated by a range of factors, including ideologies, religious beliefs, political beliefs and prejudices against particular groups of people.
