Hi Tim, Sorry to hear of your mothers problems. The only things I can suggest your mother do (apart form seeking legal advice etc) is to keep a note of all the incidents that happen and write them down and date them. If things get so bad that she has to leave early then at least she will have some back-up information to counter any claim and she may even be able to claim harrassment as well. It does also depend on whats written into the contract and how much notice she should give and how much she has to work. Perhaps she should also consult with a doctor to have it noted that she is suffering from stress from the harrasment which will be more eveidence should the need arise. I would also get as much information as you can from places like "citizens advice" or whatever the equvalent is. Sorry I can't think of anything else and I hope that the matter can be resolved to her satisfaction. Paul
