What is being done to root out prejudice?
A great deal. We do not tolerate harassment, bullying or discrimination under any circumstances. The penalties for offenders are potentially severe. An extensive education and awareness programme is underway throughout the Services. We have also, for the past five years, been working with the EOC (Equal Opportunities Commission) and its successor the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission) to ensure that we deal effectively harassment and discrimination in the workplace. We have implemented a range of policies and procedures in this regard.
