CIfA’s Board of Directors regards any incident of harassment or bullying against members of staff, or against anyone else in a CIfA forum or correspondence, as a serious matter.

Board responses may include asking people to step down from voluntary roles, reporting them to relevant authorities and/or instigating formal employment and/or professional conduct procedures.
