The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces a wide range of changes for UK employers. Some of these changes are already in force. The most significant take effect in October 2026.

This guide focuses specifically on the parts of the Act that relate to sexual harassment, and what employers will need to evidence in practice. It looks at what is changing, how expectations are shifting, and what organisations need to have in place ahead of the new duty coming into force.

Inside you’ll find:

  • What’s already changed for employers
  • What’s coming into force in October 2026
  • Why the duty is moving from “reasonable steps” to “all reasonable steps”
  • What third-party harassment liability means in practice
  • The key areas organisations should be focusing on now
  • How Safecall can support with prevention, reporting, case management, investigations and board oversight

With the October 2026 deadline getting closer, now is the time to review your current arrangements and identify any gaps.
