Ensure staff are safe and new preventative duties are met
Under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, effective from October 2024, employers must take ‘all reasonable steps’ to protect their staff from sexual harassment in the course of employment.
A simple workplace policy is not enough to meet this duty. To comply, you must anticipate and manage sexual harassment risks across your operations, including from third parties and at work-related events.
Non-compliance could result in enforcement action from the Equality and Human Rights Commission and paying 25% more on compensation claims.
