Welcome to Episode 6, a show that that looks at a subject that should be impossible to ignore.If you aren’t already aware, this week in the UK is national anti-bullying week and while it might be something that’s usually associated with schools and education, bullying is an issue that affects everyday life for many, even in the workplace. In fact, it might be an issue that’s happening in your work place right now. For employers it’s sometimes difficult to spot amongst the everyday running of a company and for those affected by it, it can often be hard to speak up about it. We invited Christine Pratt onto the show to talk about the issue. She’s the founder of the National Bullying Helpline and helps people to deal with bullying on a day-to-day basis. We talked to Christine about what bullying actually is, how it can affect the workplace and what can be done if someone in your company is being bullied – or, if you yourself are in fact a victim of bullying.If you want to know more about the National Bullying Helpline then make sure you get in touch with them:https://www.nationalbullyinghelpline.co.uk/0845 22 55 787You’ll also find images relating to this episode on our social media channels which you’ll find below:https://www.instagram.com/lbpodcast/https://twitter.com/LB_Podcasthttps://www.facebook.com/LBPodcast/If you have any questions or queries about the show, then feel free to e-mail us: show@thelocalbusinesspodcast.co.ukWe’re also looking for new guests, so feel free to get in touch if you’d like your business’s story out there for all to see.
