The Workplace
Bullying Policy outlines Northside Christian College’s commitment to
providing a safe, respectful and supportive working environment. Bullying is
not tolerated, and all staff share responsibility for upholding professional
standards and contributing to a culture of dignity, respect and wellbeing.
Workplace
bullying is defined as repeated, unreasonable behaviour that creates a risk to
health and safety. The policy clearly distinguishes bullying from reasonable
management action carried out fairly, such as performance feedback, workload
allocation and disciplinary processes. Staff are encouraged to raise concerns
early and seek guidance if unsure.
Concerns may be
addressed through informal options, including speaking directly with the person
involved, seeking advice from a Contact Officer, or support from the Executive
Team. More serious or unresolved matters may proceed to a formal complaint and
investigation process. All complaints are handled confidentially, fairly and in
line with legal obligations.
Support,
including counselling and access to external agencies, is available throughout
the process. The policy reinforces that early reporting, respectful
communication and adherence to clear procedures protect staff wellbeing and the
integrity of the College community.
