What is Workplace Bullying?


Workplace bullying involves repeated and unreasonable behaviour that intimidates, offends, degrades, or humiliates an individual. It can take many forms, including:
  • Verbal Abuse: Insults, belittling comments, or shouting.
  • Physical Intimidation: Threats or aggressive behaviour.
  • Social Exclusion: Being deliberately left out of workplace activities or communications.
  • Undermining Work Performance: Setting unrealistic deadlines, overloading with tasks, or withholding key information.
While bullying itself is not specifically unlawful under UK employment law, it often overlaps with harassment, discrimination, or constructive dismissal claims, particularly if it targets a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.

Common Bullying Concerns We Solve.


What should I do if I’m being bullied?
We’ll guide you through raising a formal grievance with your employer and exploring further options if the issue is not resolved.

Can I bring a legal claim for bullying?
While bullying alone may not constitute a legal claim, if it overlaps with harassment or discrimination, you may have grounds for legal action. We can help you identify your options.

What are my employer’s responsibilities?
Employers are required to provide a safe and respectful work environment. If they fail to address bullying, we can hold them accountable.
