Sexual Harassment in the Workplace | complying with the new statutory duty

Hit play to watch the webinar.

A Trades Union Congress poll of over 1,000 women revealed that 3 in 5 have experienced sexual harassment, bullying, or abuse at work, with the number rising to almost 2 in 3 for women aged 25 to 34. However, many do not report these incidents due to fears of not being believed or damaging their careers.

Starting 26 October 2024, a new statutory duty will require employers to prevent sexual harassment at work, based on the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s guidance. With this deadline approaching, it’s essential for employers to understand and comply with these requirements to safeguard employees and avoid liability. 

Watch this free 60-minute on-demand recording to learn how to prepare for this upcoming change.

Course: Sexual Harassment – Complying with the New Statutory Duty

From October 2024, employers will be under a new statutory duty to take “reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment.

This course will define sexual harassment and identify behaviours that constitute it, which may not always be obvious. It will also clarify what’s involved in the new duty, including the “reasonable steps” that will be required to satisfy it in accordance with the updated official guidance, and the consequences of failing to comply.
