Useful information

🏛️ Workplace Bullying training legislation

According to the Equality Act of 2010, bullying may also constitute harassment in certain circumstances. If it is, you have the right to take legal action.

You might be able to solve the issue in another way if the bullying does not qualify as harassment under the Equality Act.

When someone engages in any of the following: abusively spoken to you posted offensive posters, made offensive physical gestures or facial expressions towards you, asked you highly personal questions about, for instance, your disability or religion, and made comments on social media that you find offensive.

If the activity complies with the Equality Act's definition of harassment, even if your coworkers claim it was simply pleasant banter, it may still be considered harassment.

If the harassment is particularly severe, it might even be illegal. For instance, it is unlawful for someone to have sexually abused you or to have threatened you with harm. If you're afraid about your safety, call the police.

Check what's harassment under discrimination law

The behaviour you're complaining about had to be something you didn't want in order to qualify as harassment in any kind. 'Unwanted behaviour' is the legal term for this.

Additionally, you must always prove that the person who harassed you intended to do so or that you felt that way despite their lack of malice. 'Purpose or impact' is the term for this. It also needs to be'reasonable' that you felt that way if the other person didn't intend to make you feel that way.

You must demonstrate that the behaviour harmed your dignity or contributed to an atmosphere where:

insults you humiliates you injures you is unfriendly is demeaning

Additionally, you must demonstrate that one of the three categories of harassment defined by discrimination law applies to your situation.

The first type occurs when the inappropriate behaviour is connected to an applicable "protected characteristic," such as sex or race.

The second category is one in which the inappropriate behaviour is sexual in nature.

The third type is when you receive poorer treatment as a result of rejecting or complying with inappropriate sexual behaviours, gender- or sex-related behaviour, or both. This is referred to as "getting treated unfairly."

Whether the behaviour is aimed at you or not, for instance, it doesn't matter if you overhear your coworkers making racist jokes or remarks to one another.

The Equality Act of 2010's Section 26 addresses harassment.

Check if it's related to a 'protected characteristic'

You are protected by the Equality Act against harassment because of "protected characteristics" like your religion or a disability.

You should file a complaint under the harassment relating to your sex statute if the harassment is connected to maternity or pregnancy.

In accordance with Sections 5 through 12 of the Equality Act, protected qualities include:

Age

You are protected by the law from discrimination because of age.. young or old

• in a certain age range, such as 15 to 18,

• or under 60 of a certain age, such as 40-year-olds

• Section 5 of the Equality Act of 2010 defines age.

 Disability

Both current and past disabilities that you have overcome are covered. Even if you don't think of yourself as disabled, you may be covered if you have a physical or mental disability.

You should determine whether the Equality Act applies to your impairment.

The Equality Act of 2010's section 6 defines disability.

Gender reassignment

The term "gender reassignment" in the law refers to transgender people.

If any of the following are considering transitioning - you don't need to have had any medical care - are transitioning - or have already transitioned

Although the law is complex, if you identify as non-binary but aren't transitioning, you may be protected. Before moving forward, you must get professional counsel.

The Equality Act of 2010's section 7 defines gender reassignment.

Race

You are included in this:

Colour, such as whether you are black or white, and nationality

Your ethnic origin, such as if you are of Romany Gipsy descent, may not be the same as your nationality, such as if your family is Indian yet you hold a British passport.

If you're unsure of what race entails, you can read a more thorough explanation in Chapter 2 of the EHRC Code of Practise on Employment.

Section 9 of the Equality Act of 2010 defines race.

Religion or philosophy

This comprises:

adhering to a formal religion, such as Judaism; having a religious conviction, such as the requirement that you pray at specific times; not having a religion, such as atheism; or having philosophical convictions, such as pacifism.

Section 10 of the Equality Act of 2010 defines religion or belief.

Sex

This is whether you're a man or a woman.

If you identify as non-binary you might be covered but the law is complicated. You’ll need to get specialist advice before you go any further. 

Sex is defined in section 11 of the Equality Act 2010.
