Can I make a harassment claim if the incident took place at a social event outside of work?
===========================================================================================

You can make a claim for [harassment](https://vardags.com/reputation-privacy/services/harassment) even if the incident took place outside of the workplace at a work-related social event, for example, an office party.

The law interprets the workplace in this type of situation in a fairly wide context. If events take place in the course of employment the same rules could apply as in the workplace itself.

Witnesses can be helpful as can a note which details the incident as this could become important evidence should you decide to take the claim to the Employment Tribunal.
