Guidance on preventing workplace harassment and violence (PDF format, 822K) has been published jointly by the CBI, the Partnership of Public Employers and the TUC.
The guidance is intended to raise awareness about how to protect employees from the risk of harassment and violence, both from colleagues and from third parties.
As well as the employers' organisations and unions involved in its publication, the guidance is supported by Acas, BIS and the Health and Safety Executive.
It includes a summary of the legislative framework on harassment and violence in the workplace.
More information can be found on the Preventing workplace harassment and violence website.
Subscribers to XpertHR can find a model policy on violence at work in the policies and documents section.
