THE TEAM PATRONS The RT.HON. Ann Widdecombe MP. Cllr Mary O'Connor. Professor Cary Cooper CBE, Celebrity TV Presenter Sarah Cawood and Celebrity Singer Mz Bratt. Management: Christine Pratt FCIPD,
FCMI CEO A dedicated team of Volunteers and Administrative staff from the Swindon community. Our special thanks to our team of Volunteers and in particular David Puddephatt and Richard Fuller who are longstanding, committed, Volunteers. TRUSTEES David Pratt. Co Founder TIM FIELD The National Bullying Helpline Charity was launched from the House of Commons in April 2007 in memory of the late Tim Field, who wrote ‘Bully In Sight' and the site bullyonline.org. Tim's children attended the launch along with 120 Ministers, MP's, Professors, a Baroness, Lords, Ladies and gentlemen. Tim established the first workplace bullying advice-line in 1996 and died in January 2006. His dedication and commitment to workplace bullying has never been fully realised or acknowledged until now. When Tim found out he had only a few months to live he went to live with Christine and David at their home in Swindon and during this time he discussed his work and his legacy. During this period the concept of the National Bullying Helpline Charity was conceived. A promise was made to Tim - to merge Tim's bully advice-line and Christine's workplace bullying helpline, to form a National Charity and to invite Tim's children to become Trustees when they come of age. Our Feather Logo is for Tim. Ask for a copy of our Feather story. Call 0845 22 55 787. See below for further information. Ask for a copy of our Mission Statement. OPERATIONS Our processes are open and transparent. Occasionally, we are asked to refer callers on to other expert dispute resolution service providers. Where we refer cases for legal expertise, investigation, mediation, HR consultancy or any other professional consultancy, (referred to as Associates), we would always involve you. We would not action a referral without your explicit consent. On the contrary, such an action is usually triggered by a formal request on your part. You are given choices. In every case you would have the right to place the business with whomever you chose. Terms of Reference are entered into in such circumstances. We have a Working Agreement with all our Associates. In most cases the Associate makes a charitable donation to us in return for referred business. There are no circumstances in which we would pass on your personal data without your explicit (written) consent. If you would like to understand how we operate, please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange a visit. Tel: 0845 22 55 787 |
We are not Solicitors, nor are we legally trained and we do not pretend to be legally trained. We will not be able to comment on the merit of individual cases. In fact we refer complex cases to Employment Law Solicitors. In this circumstance, your relationship with that legal firm is confidential between you and the Solicitor. We also refer cases to Dispute Resolution Service providers under the terms of 'open and transparent' processes. Not every caller who rings our Helpline claiming they are a victim of bullying, is necessarily a victim. In fact we prefer not to use the term 'victim'. Whether the bullying is 'real or imagined' we will help you understand what your rights are and what options are open to you. We receive calls also from individuals who have been accused of bullying. We can help you too. Call us on 0845 22 55 787 if you would like to talk to us about your concerns. Your call is confidential to us and you will be treated with dignity and respect at all times. |
The
National Bullying Helpline is the brainchild of Christine Pratt
and her husband David. Christine first set up HR &
Diversity Management Ltd in 2002 and realised the enormity of the
problem caused to industry by bullying at work, so launched a bullying
Helpline. The Helpline was awarded Charity status early 2007
and is the only UK workplace Bullying Helpline Charity in the UK
run by qualified CIPD professionals. The Charity is the only Helpline
in the UK that addresses bullying in all corners of society.
Tim Field's unique insight into bullying, gained from personal experience, enables everyone to appreciate the causes, consequences and costs of this inappropriate but widespread management style which needlessly blights the lives of so many ordinary hard- working people. As one of the UK's leading specialists on workplace bullying, Tim regularly gave talks, presentations and training workshops, appeared on radio and television and was featured in newspapers and magazines. His work was pioneering and simply years ahead of its time. Christine Pratt, founder of The National Bullying Helpline, assisted Tim with content for his book and often assisted Tim with Employment Law content for his website also.
