Description
New report reveals alarming bullying, harassment, and sexual misconduct issues within the Scottish Parliament. Staff reported eighty-four incidents since 2021, including serious sexual assault claims. MSPs and staff will no longer share accommodations, and alcohol claims on expenses during those stays are banned. Dignity at Work review highlights unequal treatment of MSP complaints and power imbalances. Staff fear career damage or ruined relationships if they report issues. Parliament leaders respond with extended counseling access, confidential meetings, and a risk assessment for high-risk settings to build trust and safety.
