Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

As we’ve mentioned previously, as of 26 October 2024 there is now a new obligation for employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of their employees. In anticipation of this change the EHRC updated their technical guidance, with their eight-step guide a good starting place for employers.

The EHRC has now published templates including a checklist, action plan and monitoring log to help employers with compliance. The EHRC notes that the checklist was developed for assisting those working in the hospitality industry but it can easily be repurposed for other sectors.

The templates should work alongside existing HR policies, and ECHR recommends recording an in-depth quarterly log to assess effectiveness and actions taken.
