Niagara Catholic District School Board EMPLOYEE WORKPLACE HARASSMENT
Adopted: March 26, 2002 Revised: February 23, 2010   February 28, 2012	Policy No. 201.7

STATEMENT OF POLICY

In keeping with the Mission, Vision, and Values of the Niagara Catholic District School Board, the Niagara Catholic District School Board will endeavour to provide a work environment that promotes the treatment of every employee with dignity, respect and equity.

The Board believes that the eradication of harassment in the school/workplace is the joint responsibility of the employer and the employee. Therefore, any employee who becomes aware of a harassment situation has a responsibility to draw appropriate attention to it.

Where the occasion of a complaint of harassment arises, the Board may achieve resolution through a formal or informal process. During the process all information gathered is to be kept confidential.

It is the intention of the policy and the resulting guidelines to attempt to protect both the complainant and the accused. Therefore, each party has equal rights at all steps throughout the process.

The Director of Education will issue administrative guidelines in support of this policy.
