Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Workshop
As of 26th October 2024, there is a new proactive duty on employers to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Of course, sexual harassment was already unlawful. Nonetheless, the new duty means that there are additional obligations on employers including considering the reasonable steps that you need to make to prevent sexual harassment, and putting these steps in place.
As part of the regulatory change, the new duty will require employers to take “reasonable steps” to proactively prevent harassment.
