Workplace Retaliation And Discrimination

Hi Deb,
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this. It sounds like you may be facing potential retaliation at work.
Have you documented these incidents of criticism since you raised the grievance? This can be important for any further action you might take.

Thank you for sharing that, Deb.
It’s important to know that retaliation for raising a grievance can be unlawful. Here are some steps you can consider:
- Keep detailed records of all incidents.
- Follow your employer's grievance procedure.
- Seek advice from ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service).
Has your employer provided any response to your grievance?
