[This of course only applies to the UK]
The Human Rights legislation and RIP bill have rather conflicting aims.
Also even without RIP workplace issues are less clear-cut than your
statement.
However I would certainly hold off from getting involved in that sort
of thing until legal opinion has been obtained, and might well insist
on a director level written requirement to do this sort of work.
[However the company can also be hit under other legislation if, for
instance, people feel harrassed by email or other things going around
the company... so whatever you do its going to be wrong]
