Banter, Bullying, Behaviours, Choices and Consequences (BBBCC)
According to a recent report, the number of U.K. employment court cases concerning the use of “banter” in the workplace rose 45% in the last year. And the number of employment tribunals—court cases in the U.K. involving employees and employers—related to ‘banter’ went from 67 in 2020 to 97 in 2021.
So, what’s going on, and why is so called ‘banter’ causing such an issue, and what can we do about it?
This easy-to-follow PowerPoint has been developed by NHS Lothian, Organisation Development Consultant, Gerry Cavanagh. The slides have been made available and people are encouraged to use the resource in their own areas to help raise awareness of the need to be mindful of personal behaviours in the workplace and the negative impact this can have on the people we work with.
The slides are also available as a pdf.

Cultural Humility - Available on Turas
This eLearning module has been designed to support the development of positive cultural humility values, attitudes and behaviours in the health and social care workforce in Scotland. This is an important introductory learning resource for building a culturally humble workforce.
Cultural humility is the practice of self-reflection used to consider how our backgrounds and the backgrounds of others can impact our relationships. Being culturally humble means being aware of social power imbalances, biases, and respecting other’s values. This resource helps us to begin the journey of developing a cultural humility mindset through being open to what we haven’t learned yet, embracing continuous learning, and promoting equity and inclusion across health and social care.
The module explores experiences related to race, ethnicity, language, age, gender, religion, values, and beliefs which have been shared by health and social care professionals working in Scotland.
By the end of this resource, you will be able to:
- understand the concepts that underpin cultural humility
- identify the key behaviours for developing an inclusive workplace
- apply a reflective approach aimed at transforming practice in health and social care.
The module also includes a resource pack of further activities which can be used to guide further learning within your team.
Cultural humility acknowledges that nobody can ever fully understand or master every aspect of a culture, and it encourages a lifelong commitment to understanding and respecting others' experiences, values, and worldviews.
