The UK is to ratify the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) convention on workplace violence and harassment, the government has announced today.

In a written statement to MPs, Work and Pensions Secretary Thérèse Coffey said ratifying the convention “is the right course of action” and hoped the move reassures parliament of “the government’s commitment to tackling violence and harassment in the world of work”.
