Vicarious Liability

The concept of “Vicarious Liability” for any offensive discriminatory behaviour and conduct goes right to the top of the organisation. It follows clearly that the board of Directors or Governors will need to satisfy itself that everyone in the organisation is aware not only of their rights but also their associated responsibilities.

 Tribunal claims have been lost by employers because this balance was not achieved. In other cases liabilities have been considerably reduced and transferred to the offender when, under scrutiny, it emerges that hard headed policies with clear procedures were in place, that effective sustained training underpinned this provision and that fast track mechanisms were in place to alert the board about prevailing or imminent problems and issues

The big question is - do you and your business have the correct policies and procedures in place?
