This sexual harassment in the workplace course will introduce staff to different forms of sexual harassment, explore the impact of sexual harassment in the workplace and consider preventative measures.

On 26 October 2024, new legislation came into force that placed a greater obligation on employers and introduced a legal duty for all employers to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality 2010) Act 2023.

Has your business done enough to demonstrate you have taken proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace?
