Occupational health news in brief

Bullied clergy problem


Workplace bullying of the clergy, by both bishops and parishioners, is “rife”, according to the Unite union. It has set up a hotline for bullied clergy and is dealing with up to 150 cases a year, it has said. The union is lobbying for the law to be changed to offer clergy more protection because, as they are classed as self-employed office-holders, they are exempt from the protection offered by employment law, unable to claim unfair dismissal or seek protection under health and safety laws.


Health and safety grants


A new fund has been set up to enable small and medium-sized businesses to apply for grants of up to £50,000 a year to address health, safety and staff welfare problems. Proposals for the Health Work and Wellbeing Challenge Fund must be for a new project, with bidders able to apply for a grant from £1,000 in each year.
