Bullying

Bully: A person who deliberately intimidates or persecutes others.

Many of us think that the days of bullies are over when we leave the school playground. Reality shows that this is far from the truth. The BVNA recognises that bullying is a serious problem in many workplaces and the veterinary profession is no exception. Bullying may take many forms, and can come from senior management or colleagues. No one should have to put up with bullying and should be taken seriously by the practice.

The BVNA is there to support its members, so if you’d like to discuss any problems you’re having at work, do get in touch, members may also seek the help of the Industrial Relations Service for expert legal advice.

Whatever you do, don’t suffer in silence.
