This Bullying and Harassment training course will explore the difference between bullying and harassment, the laws that protect workers from harassment, and the laws that make tackling bullying a statutory duty for employers.

Bullying in the workplace takes many forms. It may be covert and insidious or a one-off blatant incident. Either way, bullying and harassment are always unacceptable. This course will help managers to recognise bullying and create an effective and robust bullying and harassment policy.

Updated in line with The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 which came into force on 26th October 2024.
