Personal
harassment means any conduct whether verbal or physical that is
discriminating in nature, based upon another person's race, colour,
ancestry, place of origin, political beliefs, religion, marital
status, physical or mental disability, sex, age or sexual orientation.
It is discriminatory behaviour, directed at an individual, that
is unwanted or unwelcome and causes substantial distress in that
person and serves no legitimate work-related purpose.
Key
issues/procedures
You
need to define what constitutes harassment in your organizationBe
prepared and have procedures in place to deal with harassment should
it occur (it's too late to whip something up after the fact)Make
sure that everyone (especially the volunteers!) understand what
recourse they have should they experience harassment or want to
report an incident on someone else's behalf.
