I’m sure it been mentioned afore but should it be made a crime in the workplace or at least a dismissal offence .Yes it would be difficult to prove in some cases but new legislations should be introduced to help with practice .

Legislation? How would it be policed?
I think dependent on the severity, it would be a sackable offence.

If the person being bullied had an avenue to start investigations at least it would show some help was available . Maybe notes taken or witnesses to back up claims .
What do you think the punishment should be?
Question Author
It not in my charge to make the rules but I know the effect of it .
It’s already illegal. It comes under the Equality Act.
Harassment is unlawful under the 2010 Equality Act but it doesn't mention bullying.
The government website does. Harassment is bullying.
BHDV (bullying, harassment, discrimination, victimisation)

This is what it says on the gov website
https://www.gov.uk/workplace-bullying-and-harassment
From that link,

"The law

"Bullying itself is not against the law, but harassment is."
