Event Information
Event description
Sejal Raja, Employment Lawyer & Dawn H Jones, HR Specialist will be discussing the outcome of the recent consultation on sexual harassment.
About this event
The UK government consulted on sexual harassment in the workplace from 11 July to 2 October 2019. The consultation received responses from over 130 charities and employers and over 4000 people.
Following consultation and as soon as parliamentary time allows the government plans to:
- Introduce a new duty requiring employers to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace as soon as parliamentary time allows.
- Introduce workplace protections against third-party harassment again when parliamentary time allows.
- Continue to engage with stakeholders regarding extending the time limit for bringing Equality Act 2010 based claims from 3 months to 6 months.
Join us to discuss the implications of the proposed changes for employers and the workplace. We will also be taking questions. See you online!
