This Google Docs template sets out how a UK employer defines harassment and bullying, who must act on it, and how concerns are reported and investigated. It is organised in eight pages: a commitment from leadership, a glossary of terms, a responsibilities table, the reporting routes, the investigation steps, and the support available to staff. Each page follows the same numbered style so managers and employees can find what applies to them quickly.

The sample shows Havenbrook Foods, a fictional employer with 1,240 staff, applying the policy across its sites. Replace the names, timescales and contacts with your own, then check each timescale against current employment law and the official code of practice. Pair it with a grievance policy template, a disciplinary policy template, a whistleblowing policy template or an expenses policy template, and keep the cross-references consistent.
