From August 2024, new legal duties require employers to take proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace—not just respond to it. Are you and your team prepared?

This essential, introductory-level webinar will provide staff across post-16 education and training with a clear understanding of the Worker Protection Act, what constitutes workplace harassment, and how to respond appropriately and lawfully.

Led by Carly Spicer, Safeguarding Consultant from ECP Safeguarding, this session offers a supportive space to explore practical strategies, statutory expectations, and everyday actions to protect learners, colleagues, and your organisation.

By attending this webinar, delegates will:
• Understand Harassment vs. Bullying – Learn the legal definitions and why the distinction matters under the Worker Protection Act
• Recognise Problematic Behaviours – Identify the signs, behaviours and prevalence of sexual harassment, including current statistics and trends
• Assess the Impact – Explore the emotional, psychological and operational consequences of harassment in learning and working environments
• Develop Response Strategies – Gain tools for bystander intervention, respectful communication, and navigating complex areas like consent and freedom of speech
• Implement Safe Reporting – Understand how to establish effective, compliant reporting channels, including whistleblowing support and how to manage disclosures.
