Adult Bullying

There is currently no uniform definition of workplace bullying available. The INTO policy document Staff Relations: a Report on Adult Bullying in Schools (PDF) relies on the definition that bullying is “repeated aggressive behaviour of a verbal, physical or psychological nature”. The document presents a range of other definitions in use by various unions and organisations and also describes the forms and effects of bullying and profiles both the typical victim and bully.
