WESTMINSTER must tighten up its handling of bullying and sexual harassment complaints – and reveal sanctions laid down, a review has found. An 18-month review into processes at the House of Commons and the House of Lords says authorities should speed up probes and increase the support for complainants. Parliament’s Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) was introduced in 2018 to tackle forms of harassment. It comprises a helpline, and an independent investigation service for reports against staff of either House, MPs, or MPs’ staff. More than 50 people who had used the ICGS gave confidential contributions to the review by HR director Alison Stanley, with more than 700 survey responses also received.
