What is the average injury to feelings award for harassment at work?

Litigants often ask,“What’s the average injury to feelings compensation for harassment at work?” While every case is unique, tribunals report median and average award figures that can help set realistic expectations for those representing themselves.

According to Working Families, the average award for discrimination claims was around £13,500, while the median was closer to £7,650 during 2022–23. This means half of all awards are below these figures, and half above.
