SARSASTrainingSexual Harassment at Work

Sexual Harassment at Work

You’ll build the knowledge and skills to understand what sexual harassment is, what drives it, and how to prevent and respond to it, empowering your organisation to go beyond policies and create a culture where everyone feels safe and supported.

This training is designed for all organisations and employees and will be particularly valuable for safeguarding leads, HR staff, managers, or anyone committed to creating safe and inclusive spaces.

Around 1 in 3 people have experienced sexual harassment at work in the past 12 months, and the law now says that employers need to be taking reasonable steps to prevent it.

**WORKER PROTECTION ACT (2023)**

On 26th October 2024, a new law was introduced, meaning that there is now a duty on employers to prevent sexual harassment in their workplace.

What people are saying about our training…

Amazing training – very insightful and caused many of us to reflect. Sensitive training dealt with in a gentle way.

Really great training and conversations, I came away feeling as though many other people and services etc would highly benefit from this.

The trainer was so informative and knowledgeable about this topic. She held the space for us all to feel safe to be honest and was compassionate.

Really useful to get a solid overview of understanding sexual violence, it felt relevant without being overwhelming.

The session was a good starting place for our organisation in understanding and acting to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. I attended not as a member of SLT but as a HR advisor who supports all people within the organisation so I found this incredibly relevant and valuable.

Highly recommend training from SARSAS, very informative and everyone felt safe to ask questions, reflect and learn. Our staff team now has a better understanding of what sexual harassment in the workplace could look like, the steps to take in responding and how to ensure the organisation is a safe environment for disclosures. Thank you!
