Buenos días, soy estudiante de traducción y tengo una duda terminológica. No encuentro el significado exacto en castellano de la expresión inglesa "fail to tackle". Por si acaso copio el párrafo en que aparece dicha expresión:
In the wake of this week’s allegations against Prime Minister Gordon Brown, bullying in the workplace is firmly back on the agenda and solicitors Oxley and Coward are giving employers a reminder of the legal implications of failing to tackle the issue.
In the wake of this week’s allegations against Prime Minister Gordon Brown, bullying in the workplace is firmly back on the agenda and solicitors Oxley and Coward are giving employers a reminder of the legal implications of failing to tackle the issue.

English term (edited):
fail to tackle the issue
encarar [el tema]/hacerle frente [al tema]
fail to tackle = fail to meet the head-on
I think the use of "tackle" implies more force than "address" or "deal with."
