Sexual Harassment – Guidance for Employers
On 26 October 2024 the government introduced the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023.
The Act introduced a legal duty on employers to take “reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment and create a safe working environment. The European Human Rights Commission were also provided the ability to enforce the new legislation and Employment Tribunals were provided with the ability to uplift the employee’s discrimination compensation by 25%.
Our specialist employment lawyers will be hosting a series of roundtables to discuss the changes in the sexual harassment law and what it means for employers.
