Workplace bullying: The legal gaps and why reform is needed
In this episode of the BBK Free Speech Podcast, Thomas Beale, Partner and Head of our Bullying and Harassment team and Lucy Wakeley, Senior Policy and Public Affairs Executive, explore the current legal position on bullying in the workplace, the gaps in existing legislation and what needs to change. They also highlight how protections vary widely between employers and why our BBK Manifesto calls for a clear legal definition to better support both employees and employers.
The conversation covers:
- How the lack of a legal definition leaves employees without consistent protection
- Why current legislation creates a complex and fragmented route to justice
- What reforms are needed to ensure bullying is recognised and addressed in law
