Bullying & Harassment

Practical legal support for safe and fair workplaces.

We assist employers to design, implement, and manage, bullying and harassment policies which are practical, legally compliant, and promote a healthy and happy workplace. Where disputes arise, we are here to offer practical support and advice to employees and employers in handling bullying and harassment claims, grievance procedures, investigations, and legal remedies.

Our Expertise

The Discrimination (Jersey) Law 2013 (as recently amended) provides a number of key protections for employees and imposes a number of important obligations on employers. At BCR, we have a long history of advising employers on the design, adoption, and management, of appropriate policies and procedures relating to bullying and harassment. Where issues do arise, we have the knowledge and experience to guide both employers and employees through any complaints, grievances, investigations, and proceedings.

Our Approach

For employers, we provide guidance on preventing and responding to bullying and harassment in a fair, lawful, and sensitive manner.  This includes drafting bullying and harassment policies, conducting impartial investigations, and ensuring compliance with legal obligations under local employment and discrimination laws.

For employees, we offer clear advice on how to raise concerns formally through grievance procedures, how to document incidents effectively, and what legal protections are available. Where necessary, we assist in pursuing claims before the Jersey Employment and Discrimination Tribunal, ensuring their voice is heard and their rights protected.

Our goal is to foster respectful, inclusive workplaces where issues are resolved promptly and constructively. Whether you're bringing or defending a claim, or simply need advice on best practice, our employment law specialists offer practical, confidential, support at every stage.

Delivery: We deliver clear, practical, legal solutions with responsiveness, precision, and no surprises.
