Ensure Compliance with the Worker Protection Act 2023 & Equality Act 2010.

Since the landmark October 2024 legal update to the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, the legal landscape for UK employers has fundamentally changed. Organisations now have a mandatory, proactive "preventative duty" to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, rather than simply reacting to incidents after they occur.

Failure to demonstrate this active commitment can result in a 25% uplift in compensation awarded by employment tribunals. Our Sexual Harassment Awareness at Work Training Course is specifically designed to help your business meet these rigorous standards. By educating your team on identifying risks, understanding third-party harassment, and fostering a zero-tolerance culture, you provide the essential evidence needed to satisfy your statutory obligations and protect your most valuable asset—your people.

Course Content & Objectives

Led by workplace and human resource experts, this online course can help you to create a safe and sexual harassment free organisation. Topics covered in the course will include: 

• Identifying behaviour that is classified as sexual harassment
• Isolating sexual harassment risks and how to mitigate them
• Understanding the sexual harassment policy
• How to submit and handle complaints of sexual harassment
• Elevating the importance of communication and openness in the business environment
