The Authority oversaw a Police process into an allegation of bullying and unprofessional behaviour by a supervisor in Canterbury District.
Multiple team members complained that their supervisor made offensive jokes in the workplace, set an expectation that staff work through illness, singled staff out when discussing performance issues, and discussed the performance of individuals with the wider team.
Police completed an employment process and took action to remedy the situation and address the concerns raised.
The Authority agrees that Police have taken appropriate action to deal with the officer’s behaviour.
