Are you confident your workplace would recognise and challenge inappropriate behaviour before it becomes a legal and reputational nightmare? Many organisations still underestimate the risk and impact of sexual harassment, especially under the Equality Act 2010. This course delivers sexual harassment training that explains what counts as sexual harassment in everyday situations and grey areas. It connects workplace realities with sexual harassment law so you understand the stakes, the standards, and the human cost of getting it wrong—and your role in getting it right.
In this course, you explore clear UK definitions, roles, and responsibilities so you know exactly what is expected of employers, managers, and workers. You see how employer duties work in practice, including the need to take “reasonable steps” and how vicarious liability can arise when organisations fail to act. You work through scenarios involving remote work, work socials, and third-party behaviour to recognise how patterns of sexual harassment can escalate when culture, policy, and leadership are not aligned.
This course is designed to help you act with confidence, not just avoid risk. You follow step-by-step guidance on reporting routes, from internal processes through Acas and, where necessary, to an employment tribunal. You also practise bystander intervention approaches and learn how everyday choices shape culture. By the end, you will know how to challenge sexual harassment, support colleagues, and comply with sexual harassment law and the Equality Act 2010—so enrol, take this course, and help make your workplace safer today.
