This course helps learners understand what workplace bullying and harassment are, how they affect individuals and teams, and how to respond safely and appropriately.
Workplaces and apprenticeships should be environments where people feel respected and supported. However, bullying can occur at any level between colleagues, from managers to staff, or even within teams. Bullying is not only harmful to mental wellbeing but can also reduce confidence, performance and job satisfaction.
The course explains the different forms bullying can take, including direct, indirect and online behaviour. Learners will understand their rights and responsibilities at work, how UK law protects employees, and how employers are expected to respond. The programme also provides practical guidance on what to do if you experience bullying or witness it happening to someone else.
By the end of the course, learners will feel more confident recognising inappropriate behaviour, raising concerns safely, and contributing to a respectful and supportive workplace culture.
