At the end of the day, whether an employer or employee, we all want to leave work safe and well so we can enjoy time with our family and friends. Workplace bullying is a risk to your health and safety that can have debilitating physical and psychological impacts.

This course is suitable for psychologists, counsellors, social workers, mediators and educators.

Legal and behavioural definitions of bullying
The impact of bullying in the workplace on you, other employees, clients and the organisation
The reasons that bullying occurs
Practical strategies for managing or preventing bullying when it happens to you or others in the workplace.
