Why should I get involved?

​

Maybe you have been affected by workplace bullying yourself, whether as the target of a bully or as a witness to bullying behaviour. Maybe you know, through the experience of a colleague friend or family member, the terrible personal consequences of bullying. Or maybe you are seeing the bigger picture – the damage that unhealthy workplace cultures do to public institutions and private companies has never been more evident. It’s time to stop hurt at work.

 

This is a great chance to join the campaign from the start. We have researched different routes to meaningful and lasting change, and already identified an MP who will lead the push for a new law to protect workers and workplaces from the devastating effects of bullying.

​

What can I do?

 

Your voice as an individual can make a difference when it comes to building support for the campaign to end workplace bullying. It’s your MP’s job to listen to what you have to say and represent you in Parliament. By communicating your experience and your views, you can make a persuasive case for your MP to get behind the campaign and support proposals to change the law.

 

How do I contact my MP?

 

Information about contacting your MP, including a link to find contact details, is available here. In your email, message or letter you should include your address to show that you are a constituent.

 

What should I say?

​

The most important things are to say clearly that you want workplace bullying to end and that you are asking your MP to support the campaign for change to stop hurt at work. Your own story, if you are able to share it, can be very powerful. Ask your MP to join the push for changing the law on workplace bullying. You could also refer your MP to the campaign information on this page.

​

We’ve created a template with a suggested form of words that you may wish to use as part of your email, message or letter.  You can download a copy here.
