Workshop Overview:

In October 2024, significant new legislation came into force that places a strict, proactive duty on all employers: You must now take reasonable steps to prevent harassment of a sexual nature in the workplace. If an employer fails to do so, and harassment occurs resulting in a successful claim at an Employment Tribunal, the compensatory award — already uncapped — can be increased by up to 25%, meaning the financial risk is substantial!

Critically, this is not just about responding to complaints. The law imposes an anticipatory duty: employers must actively assess risks, foresee potential issues, and put measures in place to prevent harassment. You cannot afford to be reactive. Prevention is now a legal obligation.

Join this urgent and practical session to ensure your organisation is not only compliant, but protected.

Learning Objectives:

This session will take a practical approach as we guide you through how to carry out risk sexual harassment risk assessements. Also, you will learn:

  • What changes you need to make to ensure you're compliant with the new legislation
  • What a risk assessment should cover (using templates provided)
  • How to complete a risk assessment using examples to help you
  • How to identify what reasonable steps might be for your business and what would not be considered reasonable
  • How to train your staff and update your company policies to be compliant
  • Plus, the opportunity to have all your questions answered by our expert, Kathy Daniels.
