Speaking out about bullying, particularly when you work for a large organisation like the Armed Forces, can be very frightening. And, if following the correct process doesn’t solve the problem, it can be hard to know where to turn.

Our client, Chris, spoke to our military solicitor and podcast host Carol Purang to share his lived experience of bullying and harassment in the military. They’re joined by Chris’s therapist, Jo Rogers from JTR Hypnotherapy and Dr Vicky Aldridge from our charity partner, Combat Stress.

Together they discussed:

• The impact that bullying and harassment has on those who experience it.
• The importance of keeping a record of your experience if you are being bullied or harassed.
• Where you can access support, particularly if it feels like there’s no one you can turn to within the organisation you work for.
• How society can play a part in reducing the shame and stigma felt by those being bullied.

If you’ve been impacted by bullying and harassment in the military, or in your place of work, our expert solicitors are here to support you every step of the way. Further support and resources are available from our charity partner, Combat Stress.
