Understanding your obligations: Preventing sexual harassment in the workplace 

Did you know that employers need to be ready to protect employees from sexual harassment under a new statutory obligation?  

According to a study from the Crime Survey for England and Wales, 2023 a quarter all people who’ve experienced sexual harassment said it had happened in their place of work. Meanwhile, the TUC found that 3 in 5 women have experienced harassment at work. 

From October 2024 the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Bill will strengthen protection for workers against sexual harassment. This new law will place a new duty on employers to take ‘reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment.  

If you want to understand what this means for you as an employer, Creative Access has created a training workshop covering the new legal obligations to help employers take proactive steps to avoid sexual harassment in the workplace.  

If you’re focused on inclusion, now is the time to act and not only deal with sexual harassment but to prevent sexual harassment from happening in the workplace. 

Our ‘Fostering Respect: Tackling Sexual Harassment in the Workplace’ workshop includes:  

  • What is ‘sexual harassment’? Recognising the behaviours that constitute sexual harassment  
  • Understanding the law surrounding sexual harassment  
  • What to do if you experience or witness sexual harassment in the workplace  
  • Understand how management should handle a complaint and how to support all staff involved 
  • Barriers to disclosure at work and creating a safe environment for disclosure 
  • Responding appropriately and managing trauma responses 
  • Remove or reducing risks to stop sexual harassment before it happens
