BHDV - CHIRP

The report forms have been designed for commercial and leisure aviation alike. No entry is mandatory, so you can complete as little or as much of the form as you like. However, CHIRP would always prefer as much detail as possible to be able to assist with and understand your concerns.

You can save the report and come back to it later using the options at the bottom of each step of the process, up to the point of submission.

Thank you for your interest in submitting a report to CHIRP Aviation.

It is vital that issues of Bullying, Harassment, Discrimination & Victimisation (BHDV) are addressed. Our role at CHIRP is to anonymously aggregate all report data to build a picture of the prevalence of BHDV in the aviation sector, the human factor and safety impacts this may have, and explore improvements that might be made. Your report and data is vital in helping us to undertake that work.

All submitted reports will be processed and included in disidentified aggregated information that will be passed to the CAA on a regular basis but only CHIRP staff will have access to the reports themselves – there is no connectivity to CAA systems and reporters’ details will only be seen by CHIRP staff.

Please note that in undertaking this work CHIRP does not investigate individual Bullying, Harassment, Discrimination & Victimisation (BHDV) reports themselves.

The report forms have been designed for commercial and leisure aviation alike. No entry is mandatory, you can complete as little or as much of the form as you like but we would always prefer as much detail as possible in order to understand your concern. You can save the report and come back to it later using the link above, up to the point of submission.

Because CHIRP has no remit or ability to investigate individual reports of BHDV you should only expect to receive an acknowledgement of receipt from CHIRP.

Your disidentified report will be aggregated with others’ to analyse trends and so the more reports and data we have the more we can do to help ensure operations continue safely, so we thank you for taking the time to complete your submission.

BHDV Category Descriptions – CLICK to expand

Below are some broad descriptions to help you in selection of the right category, for more detail see https://www.acas.org.uk/if-youre-treated-unfairly-at-work and https://www.acas.org.uk/discrimination-and-the-law. Note the distinction between bullying and harassment in respect of protected characteristics.

Bullying – Bullying is unwanted behaviour from a person or group that makes you feel uncomfortable; frightened; intimidated; offended; insulted; less respected or put down; made fun of; or upset. By definition, if the unwanted behaviour involves any of the protected characteristics of age; pregnancy and maternity; disability; gender reassignment or identity; marriage and civil partnership; race; religion or belief; sex; or sexual orientation then it is not bullying but is harassment (see below).

Harassment – By definition, harassment is when bullying or other unwanted behaviour involves, or is because of, any of the protected characteristics of age; pregnancy and maternity; disability; gender reassignment or identity; marriage and civil partnership; race; religion or belief; sex; or sexual orientation. For it to count as harassment, the unwanted behaviour must have either violated the person’s dignity (whether it was intended or not), or have created an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for the person (whether it was intended or not).

Discrimination – by law, being discriminated against is when you’re treated unfairly because you have, are perceived to have, or are associated with someone who has any of the protected characteristics of age; pregnancy and maternity; disability; gender reassignment or identity; marriage and civil partnership; race; religion or belief; sex; or sexual orientation. It can be against the law for anyone to treat you unfairly because of any of these reasons.

Victimisation – Victimisation is a sub-set of discrimination and involves being treated unfairly because you made or supported a complaint to do with discrimination, harassment or a protected characteristic, or someone thinks you did.

Characteristic Descriptions

Show

Below are some broad descriptions of the UK Equality Act 2010 protected characteristics. You can select as many of these as you think are relevant.

1. Age – belonging to a particular age or range of ages.

2. Pregnancy and maternity – treatment of a woman during the protected period from the beginning of pregnancy up until she returns to work from her maternity leave (or two weeks after the end of her pregnancy should she not be entitled to maternity leave). This includes treating a woman unfavourably because she is breastfeeding.

3. Disability – includes physical or mental impairment which has (or has had) a substantial and long-term (normally greater than, or predicted to be greater than, 12 months) adverse effect on a person’s ability to carry out day-to-day activities.

4. Gender reassignment – gender reassignment is a personal process involving moving away from one’s birth sex to a preferred gender, rather than to any medical process. This can include how a person identifies their gender which could be as non-binary, gender neutral or another term.

5. Marriage and civil partnership – only people who are married or in a civil partnership are protected against discrimination on this ground. The status of being unmarried or single is not protected.

6. Race – includes colour, nationality (including citizenship) and ethnic or national origins.

7. Religion or belief – includes any religion and any religious or philosophical belief that falls within the protection of the Equality Act; it can also include a lack of any such religion or belief.

8. Sex – a person’s gender.

9. Sexual orientation – a person’s sexual preferences towards: persons of the same sex (that is, the person is a gay man or a lesbian); persons of the opposite sex (that is, the person is heterosexual); or persons of either sex (that is, the person is bisexual).
