Bullying in the work place - Report to new company?

[BabyST]

I am trying to support my son who works in the NHS industry where over the last number of years he has raised countless concerns for bullying and harassment from one colleague I'll name them X. My son has raised his concerns about X a number of times to senior managers who initially said they had sorted it but in reality X never changed their behaviour and has escalated over the last 6-9 months. About 12 months ago my son had no option but to put in a formal complaint of bullying to work. Work ignored this for some time but over the last 3 months following an escalation of behaviour by X has led to the investigation being launched.

Barring in mind this has been in over a year now X has put in a complaint against my son but work won't tell him yet what is said on it but have said he doesn't need to worry they know its a counter claim because X can do what they want even if the claim is false. The case also includes racism, victimisation, isolating and more. My son has made note of everything over the years and he has 148 pages of evidence and emails etc.

My son found out this morning that X has resigned or will leave the company in the next few weeks. My understanding from him he has been told that X was told to run before going into gross misconduct hearings due to the amount of evidence against X. We are considering go to the police for racism.

My main question is can we as a family or my son tip off X new company of their behaviour as X has left before the investigation is upheld. AIBU to tip off the new company that we understand X has got a job with about this? I am so frustrated cause it feels like X has gotten away with it albeit it left their job.

No do not do that. X has lost their job, even if he was told to jump before he was pushed, let that be punishment enough. I mean what else would the employer be able to do anyway, other than fire him.

I could be wrong, but informing "X"'s new company could be classed as harassment and would probably go against GDPR

God no.

Son will get into trouble for sharing confidential info

No, you can't do this. The new company will not be interested in comments from random individuals. He probably has an agreed reference from your DS's company and that's the only thing that they will be interested in.

He has left the company, he no longer works with your ds. That's good. If you believe that a criminal offence has been committed, then by all means, encourage your ds to report it to the police. Otherwise, let it go. Focus on building back your ds's confidence and wellbeing. The stupid twat who bullied him is now someone else's problem. He may or may not have learned his lesson.

Of course you can't do that! You'll look like a nutter and X could probably sue you. Just be glad he's gone. If you want to pursue the police angle, do - that might screw up the new job for him anyway. But don't contact his new employer.

No you can’t, much as you may like to

by all means report to the police as racism and let them deal with it

X has lost his job and had to find another before he was sacked, that alone means he was caught so much as it’s frustrating your son can move on at work now

No but count your son's lucky stars that they have got away from this person.

Living well is the best revenge - that's what he needs to do now.

No! You could be accused of slandering X.

Thank you! We are thankful they are going and leaving the company however I think we are just so frustrated they have not been punished and told to leave. I get they lose their job and security but it's also frustrating they have been warned to leave.

I don't know if we ever would have contacted the new company but we won't now knowing all of this thank you! I am just so frustrated with this the company managed it so badly and just didnt care.

We will work on building my sons confidence back up now but he has been told to expect a back lash from others and they are so popular and its already been leaked my son is the reason they are leaving!
