Labour Member of Parliment for Hove and Portslade, Celia Barlow MP says "I am proud to add my name in support of this important campaign against workplace bullying. It is simply unacceptable that 1 in 4 people will be bullied in the workplace at some point in their lives, and the work of this campaign is an important step in ending this misery for millions of people"
Member of Parliment for Huntingdon, Jonathan Djanogly MP wrote "There is no excuse for bullying in the workplaace, or any other place. Indeed, it is vital for the wellbeing of every business that good chemistry exists between all team members. As you say, not only are the financial benefits clear cut - it is well documented that positive and well motivated employees are more productive - but I believe business has a duty to take its social responsibilities seriously. prime amongst these is the welfare of staff".
The Baroness Fookes of Plymouth wrote "I am always appalled by bullying whether this takes place in the more traditional area of school or the workplace itself. In both cases those who are on the receiving end of bullying have their own lives made a misery for the major part of their waking day. I am pleased to support your campaign".
