Bullying and harassment at work. Specialist advice and guidance.
Bullying or Harassment at work can be traumatic and make going to work unpleasant, it can also impact on your mental health and lead to sickness and absence from work. As bullying is secretive in nature, you may not have evidence of what is happening to you. You should therefore keep a diary of events of what is said and how this has made you feel, as incidents occur.

Your Employer unfairly blocks you for promotions

How is harassment different from bullying?
Harassment is still bullying but relates to a personal characteristic, most often as a result of your race, sex, religion or sexual orientation.
Your employer has a duty to protect you under The Health and Safety at Work Act and so they are legally responsible for dealing with bullying and harassment in a timely & sensitive fashion.
