Civil Servant Bullying Could Flourish After Raab 'Farce'
The Independent|April 23, 2023
Bullying of civil servants in Whitehall is set to worsen after the "farce" of Dominic Raab's departure from government, it has been warned. Officials will be deterred from filing formal complaints against other ministers in the future, experts said, amid claims of a "chilling" effect.

Civil Servant Bullying Could Flourish After Raab 'Farce'

A row also erupted as allies of the former deputy prime minister were accused of “massively undermining” the UK’s ambassador to Spain – by naming him as the man at the centre of one of the upheld complaints. Mr Raab was forced to resign after an independent investigation found he had acted in an intimidating and aggressive way towards officials.

But civil servants who claimed he bullied them only found out the results of their complaints from rolling news channels, sources close to the process said. And Rishi Sunak came under fire for his decision to wait 24 hours before releasing the inquiry’s findings, allowing his deputy time to resign and write a national newspaper article setting out his side of the story first.
