In October 2024, new legislation (Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023) is coming into force which requires employers to take ‘reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment of employees.
We held a member webinar on 15 July to help make members aware of the Worker Protection Act 2023, their obligations under the Act, and how they can prepare. Members can view a recording of the webinar below, and download a template harassment policy to adapt and use. You will need to read through the policy carefully, and make amends relevant to your own organisation. Highlighted text indicates where you can link out to other appropriate policies if you have them.
Please get in touch with us at members@soltukt.co.uk if you have any questions.
