These are naturally complicated situations, where the College and its CSACs will want to offer some support to trainees. It is however important to understand the difference between issues that have to do with quality of training, which the College has some delegated responsibility over from the GMC, and issues that have to do with employment, which the College should not become directly involved with. This is to try and protect both the College and individual CSAC members.</p> <p>Issues of bullying have two broad factors – the situation for the individual as an employee, which would rest for resolution with the Health Board/Trust and/or the Deanery – and the impact on quality of training, which should concern both the College (which recommends certification for training) and the Deanery (which approves programmes and posts).</p> <p>Trainees may understandably seek advice from members of the CSAC and may do so directly without involving the College team first. Allegations of bullying are often very complex, caused by multiple people in different services/circumstances. It is therefore impossible to give meaningful formal guidance that will apply to all cases. However, here are some important points to consider should this issue arise within your CSAC:</p> <ul><li><strong>Request permission from the trainee to flag this with the College staff</strong>, explaining that staff will naturally be bound by rules of confidentiality. This will allow you to seek advice from staff throughout the process. Raise this with sufficiently senior staff members (Head of Department or above). The trainee’s right to confidentiality throughout must be managed sensitively.</li> <li><strong>Understand what processes the trainee has already used to address </strong>the allegation of bullying. Have they reviewed their local hospital policy on bullying and harassment? Have they raised the allegation through the Health Board/Trust’s staff support service? Have they raised the allegation with their Deanery (usually through the Training Programme Director or Head of School)? The Health/Board Trust and the Deanery act as employers and they should be the primary focus for trainees wanting to address active bullying and trainees should be encouraged to use these channels primarily.</li> <li><strong>Note longer-term considerations about the appropriateness of placing trainees at a site which has been flagged for bullying</strong>. Ideally, if the trainee is raising this with the Deanery, the CSAC can seek clarity from the Head of School that training implications for the site have been considered as part of this process. This may include pausing the placing of trainees at the site. Any considerations for sub-specialty trainees are likely to be applicable to non-sub-specialty trainees in the same placement; therefore liaison with the Head of School is recommended.</li> <li><strong>Understand if there are consequences for the trainee’s own training progression </strong>and understand whether additional training time is required.</li> <li><strong>Seek advice </strong>from the College's Training & Quality staff team and through the clinical leads on the Training & Quality Board throughout.</li> <li><strong>If in an unlikely situation, you are called to testify in an investigation on bullying </strong>led by the Health Board/Trust, reach out to the Director of Education & Training who can work with the College’s Head of Governance to ensure you are suitably prepared. It is important to understand that when cases reach this stage, they may bring with them legal liability for both the College and the individual CSAC member.</li> </ul></dd> <dt>Supporting less than full time trainees</dt> <dd> <p>See our guidance on <a href="https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/less-full-time-training-ltft-guidance">supporting less than full time trainees</a>.
