Employment Rights BillContribution
Secondly, this argument fails to recognise that most victim survivors do not recognise their experience as harassment and might therefore not make a complaint to the police. In fact, according to the “End not Defend” campaign, a series of FOIs submitted to each police force found an acknowledgement that harassment is, overall, not recorded as happening in the workplace. Of course, the police can only take action against individual perpetrators under criminal law, allowing employers to evade accountability. This landscape is exactly why I have brought forward these two amendments.
