At Digital Bricks, we embrace diversity and ensure that every staff member has the right to a harmonious working environment. Our commitment extends to preventing bullying and harassment, and to familiarise those we work with our procedures.
Our staff and associates are responsible for cultivating a workplace where bullying and harassment are unacceptable and must be reported if such behaviours are suspected or identified, regardless of whether a formal complaint is lodged. All allegations, whether formal or informal, must be treated with seriousness, promptness, and sensitivity.
We recognise our legal obligations under the Health and Safety Act 1974, The Equality Act 2010, and other relevant legislation to prevent harassment based on race, age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, gender reassignment, pregnancy, maternity, marital status, or any other grounds. Every staff member and associate is liable under these laws, and non adherence can lead to disciplinary action. We ensure protection against victimisation for those raising concerns and take any malicious allegations seriously.
If a staff member or associate experiences harassment, they should document incidents and approach a team member they feel comfortable with.
Our business provides specialist training on equality, diversity, and inclusion, and harassment prevention. Staff and associates are informed about these topics and have access to our learning materials.
For advice or to discuss concerns, anyone can consult the Director at hello@digitalbrickslearning.com. If possible to do so, please detail the nature of the harassment, including dates, times, places, and any witnesses. Confidentiality is crucial and we may may consult ACAS for advice, ensuring all parties are in agreement.
