Frequently asked questions

Is bullying at work illegal in the UK?

There is no standalone legal claim for bullying itself. Harassment related to a protected characteristic (such as sex, race, disability, age or religion) is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010, and serious bullying can support other claims, for example constructive dismissal.

What should I do before going to an employment tribunal?

Raise a grievance with your employer where you can, keep a dated record of what happens, and contact ACAS for early conciliation, which is required before most employment tribunal claims. Time limits are short: usually six months less one day from the act you are complaining about (three months less one day if it happened before 1 October 2026).

What evidence should I keep?

The messages themselves (Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, text), emails, changes to your duties or rota, your grievance and the employer's reply, fit notes, and the names of witnesses. The earlier you preserve them, the harder they are to dispute.
