Issues/Principles

• Do you take this at face value?
• Do you observe/investigate further first?
• Could this be discrimination in the other direction (leaner to patient)?
• What is the organisation’s approach to this?
• What support/strategies/guidance can you offer to the trainee on how to challenge any inappropriate behaviour?

• You have a duty of care to this trainee to ensure they do not experience harassment or discrimination in the learning/work environment. This should be your priority.
