Frequently asked questions

It is vital that anyone who works with others is able to help safeguard them from bullying and harassment. Here are some of the most commonly asked questions that are put to our specialists.

What is the difference between bullying and harassment?

The difference between bullying and harassment lies predominantly in the legalities. Under current acts, harassment is a criminal offence. Whilst bullying is not illegal, discriminating against somebody because of ‘protected characteristics’ is against the law.

Both offences should be a major concern for any employer or organisation and must be taken seriously whenever the issue is raised. Cases of bullying or harassment can destroy an organisation’s reputation, its workplace culture and, most significantly, someone’s career.

This Bullying and Harassment training course teaches learners the difference between bullying and harassment, and much more.

What are protected characteristics?

The Equality Act 2010 legally protects someone from discrimination, including at work, in education, and as a consumer.

‘Protected characteristics’ are types of discrimination. It is against the law to discriminate against someone because of the following characteristics:

• Age
• Disability
• Gender reassignment
• Marriage and civil partnership
• Being pregnant or on maternity leave
• Race
• Religion or belief
• Sex
• Sexual orientation
• What is cyberbullying?

Cyberbullying is a form of bullying that occurs online. It is an attack or abuse that can occur over email, social media, or other technology.

This type of bullying sometimes comes from anonymous sources so people should take particular care when giving out personal details such as their email address or phone number.

Who should take this Bullying and Harassment training course?

Bullying and harassment in schools, in the workplace or anywhere else, is fundamentally a safeguarding issue.

Therefore, we recommend Bullying and Harassment training for employees, managers, teachers and anyone else working where this type of abuse could take place. This course teaches learners how to deal with workplace bullying and harassment.

What is bullying and harassment?
