Its Anti-Bullying Week

It’s anti bullying week. Although the campaign is aimed primary at young people who are being bullied at school, we shouldn’t forget that bullying is a major workplace issue too.

Although there are laws against harassment when the grounds are clearly discriminatory, for example age, sexuality or ethnic origin, there are no laws against bullying. And even if there was, the very nature of bullying is such that many victims would find it difficult to seek legal redress.
