Aims of the course
Our Preventing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace course is designed to help organisations across Somerset create workplaces where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and professionalism. Participants will gain a clear understanding of what constitutes sexual harassment, why it occurs and the practical steps individuals and organisations can take to prevent it.
The programme goes beyond legal compliance by equipping employees and managers with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to recognise inappropriate behaviour, respond appropriately to concerns, challenge unacceptable conduct safely and contribute to a positive workplace culture where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.
The course also supports employers across Somerset in meeting their legal responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 and the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 by helping organisations demonstrate that they have taken reasonable, proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
