Peers set to challenge Labour’s proposed ‘banter ban’ – but will policing conversations address workplace safety concerns?- James Townsend for People Management.

Employment expert James Townsend, Partner and Co-Head of Employment Law department has had his comments published in People Management Magazine.

The article highlights the current controversy surrounding Labour’s proposed reforms to workplace harassment legislation, particularly one aspect that critics have dubbed the “banter ban.”

James Townsend comments:

“On the whole I consider the suggested amendment sensible, although it would be better simply not to introduce third-party harassment provisions.”
