Sexual HarassmentTraining
Helping workplaces prevent sexual harassment
Support safer more respectful workplaces.
We deliver practical, legally up-to-date sexual harassment training for employees and line managers, tailored to your organisation, workforce and sector. Our training supports employers to meet their legal duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, while creating a respectful, safe and inclusive workplace culture.
Why sexual harassment training matters
The law changed in October 2024, placing an explicit duty on employers to proactively prevent sexual harassment at work. Training is now a key part of demonstrating that you have taken reasonable steps. Where a tribunal finds that sexual harassment has occurred and the employer has not met its duty, compensation can be increased by up to 25%.
Effective training helps to
- Raise awareness of what sexual harassment is (including less obvious behaviour)
- Reduce risk of complaints, claims and reputational damage
- Support employees to feel safe, respected and confident to speak up
- Equip managers to respond appropriately and lawfully
