Bullying & Harassment Policy Template

*** FYI: From 26 October 2024, employers have a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of employees and workers in the course of their employment. This policy reflects the new changes ***

As an employer, you’re responsible for preventing bullying and harassment in your workplace. And what’s more, you could end up in an employment tribunal if you don’t take this seriously

👉 Most responsible employers like you, will want to do the right thing and create a positive working environment, where people are looked after and feel respected. This policy helps to reinforce that.

👉 You can find yourself in hot water legally, if you don’t put the right things in place to prevent and stamp out bullying and harassment in your workplace.

👉 In fact, GOV.UK tribunal statistics show that in 2018/19, there were 114 discrimination claims awarded compensation for: race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation, and age discrimination. The largest UK award for sex discrimination amounted to a whopping £1,762,130 in 2015/16. Oh, and there’s no cap on the fines compensation for discrimination claims.
