Harassment and Victimisation

Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect at work.

Unfortunately, from time to time this doesn’t happen – and subjecting someone to harassment or victimisation are both good examples of this type of failure.

The Equality Act 2010 - the most significant piece of equality law for many years – makes both harassment and victimisation illegal. This course sets out to explain in simple terms the different forms of harassment, its harmful consequences, how it can be avoided and how to deal with it. Simulations and case studies based on the imaginary town of Equalityville are used to help the learner recognise harassment within a work context.

The circumstances that constitute victimisation are also explained and demonstrated.
