Part of 2. Questions to the Leader of the House and Chief Whip – in the Senedd at 2:54 pm on 20 June 2018.
Yes, I absolutely agree—it absolutely should not have any place in the modern workplace. As I said in response to earlier questions, we're all appalled to see that it is still such a concern. As I said in my previous answer, there will be work with the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport around making sure that the economic action plan picks up matters around discrimination of all sorts.
We are also working on our anti-bullying guidance. The Cabinet Secretary for Education recently announced relationships and sexuality education being a statutory part of the new curriculum, which is around education and acceptance. We are also running the 'This Is Me' campaign, the anti-gender-stereotyping campaign, which has been very successful indeed and has been embraced by a large number of organisations across Wales, to start the process of ensuring that people know that that kind of discrimination simply is not acceptable. What I would say to any individual who is experiencing that, of course, is that they should come forward. There are organisations that can help people combat that kind of discrimination in the workplace because it is, after all, illegal to discriminate in that way against people with protected characteristics.
