Harassment

Harassment is “unwanted conduct related to your age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation, which has the purpose or effect of violating an individual’s dignity or creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for that individual.”

Workplace harassment can also include sexual harassment which is a specific form of unlawful discrimination.
