Therefore it is vital to include every staff member equally in decisions and activities where necessary. Without inclusion a person may begin to feel isolated and bullied, leading to possible depression or abuse. For this reason (as well as others), I make sure the entire staff team are able to attend staff meetings and are included in decisions where appropriate.
