Practical Pointers for Preventing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
As well as providing you with an understanding of the various forms of sexual harassment and ways to deal with this issue if it arises, this webinar will focus on the proactive and practical steps that you can take to prevent it in the first place.
About the webinar
A study by the Government Equalities Office in 2020 highlighted the fact that 29% of the UK working population had experienced some form of sexual harassment in their workplace or work-related environment in the previous 12 months and that men were almost as likely to experience this as women (27% and 30% respectively). It has been established in this and more recent surveys that many people who experience sexual harassment do not report it either for fear of retaliation or retribution or because they do not believe that anything will be done about it.
High-profile cases in the media and the #MeToo movement have brought this issue to the forefront of public attention. As part of continuing attempts to address this, a new piece of legislation - the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 - is being implemented in October 2024. It will introduce a new duty for employers in England, Scotland and Wales to take reasonable steps to prevent the sexual harassment of employees and workers in the course of their employment - but what does this mean in practice?
