Synopsis
Harassment claims keep rising - and so do the awards. With tribunal compensation reaching £4.6 million in one landmark case and the Employment Rights Act 2025 removing caps on unfair dismissal awards, employers can no longer afford to get this wrong.
The legal landscape is changing rapidly. The preventative duty for sexual harassment has tightened, third-party harassment protection is returning, and unfair dismissal qualifying periods are dropping to six months for new hires. Each tribunal case continues to redefine acceptable workplace conduct.
Preventing Harassment gives practical, up-to-date guidance to help organisations protect both their people and their business. Written specifically for UK HR professionals by leading employment law barrister Daniel Barnett and employment law journalist Jackie Le Poidevin, this book cuts through legal complexity and focuses on what works in practice.

Every chapter draws on real tribunal decisions, showing what employers did right, what they got wrong, and the lessons HR professionals can apply immediately.
Written for HR professionals rather than lawyers, the book provides clear explanations, practical frameworks and actionable guidance without unnecessary jargon.
It also covers the latest developments, including the Employment Rights Act 2025, third-party harassment provisions, EHRC guidance and recent Supreme Court decisions on single-sex facilities.
About the AuthorsDaniel Barnett is a leading employment law barrister, founder of the HR Inner Circle and host of Employment Law Matters. He has written more than 30 employment law books and regularly presents seminars for organisations including Acas, the BBC and Oxford University.
