What is the difference between harassment and bullying?
Harassment and bullying both involve behaviour which harms, intimidates, threatens, victimises, undermines, offends, degrades or humiliates. Harassment is always linked to Anti-discrimination Laws and thus will focus on gender, race, ethnic background, colour, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age or disability. Harassment may be a single incident or a series of incidents. Bullying is repeated inappropriate behaviour, direct or indirect and by one or more persons which undermines an individual’s right to dignity.
