The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) bill, places a duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. Although this training will help you to meet your obligations in relation to the preventative duty, on its own it will not be enough as there are a range of steps you need to take.
There will be further information that you will need your employees to know, which will be specific to your organisation, such as:
- Where they can find the policy that deals with sexual harassment.
- What your expectations on workplace behaviour are, including behaviour online, social media groups (WhatsApp etc.) and other methods of communication.
- How they can raise concerns, and who they should raise them with if they experience sexual harassment.
- Ensuring they understand what the organisation will do if they are a perpetrator of sexual harassment.
Think about your organisation and consider how and where sexual harassment may occur. You should consider surveying your staff to understand this better.
Make sure you conduct regular risk assessments to highlight the risk areas, and then create an action plan to set out how you will tackle areas of concern. Included with your purchase of this training, we will provide an example risk assessment and action plan builder document.
It will be important to consider third party harassment and for you to take steps to protect staff from this.
