About this package
Preventing Discrimination, Bullying & Harassment explores how unfair treatment develops in workplaces and learning settings, including behaviour that can be overlooked or dismissed as ordinary practice. It connects recognition with practical action: identifying warning signs, responding appropriately, reporting concerns and seeking support. The focus is on helping learners protect themselves and others while contributing to an environment where people are treated fairly.
The opening content examines protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010, with particular attention to sexual orientation, religion or belief, marriage and civil partnership, and gender reassignment, followed by a recap of the protected characteristics. Everyday decisions about shifts, time off, training opportunities and assumptions about relationships help explain how exclusion can occur without openly hostile language. Learners consider direct and indirect discrimination and the importance of making decisions on relevant grounds rather than personal characteristics.
The package then distinguishes bullying, harassment and victimisation, looking beyond obvious verbal abuse to patterns of interruption, ridicule, isolation, intimidation and undermining. It explores why intent is not the only consideration when assessing harmful conduct. Content on psychological harm considers anxiety, disrupted sleep, difficulty concentrating and withdrawal from participation, helping learners understand why repeated behaviour matters. Prevention is addressed through workplace and learning culture, intervention and early action rather than simply waiting for incidents to escalate.
The final part explains how to raise concerns through internal reporting routes, including managers, tutors and human resources, and considers employer responsibilities. It also introduces external advice, employment solicitors, tribunal routes, ACAS Early Conciliation and settlement, including the usual time limit for workplace discrimination or harassment claims. The learning outcomes extend this knowledge into analysing cases, assessing support options and developing a personal prevention plan. Delivered through the organisation’s own LMS, the package includes video content.
