Preventing Sexual Harassment at Work: Watch Our Expert Webinar

Creating a safer, more respectful workplace starts with preparation — and knowing how to respond when concerns are raised.

Sexual harassment remains a real issue in UK workplaces. And while recent legislation like the Worker Protection Act 2023 puts a legal duty on employers to prevent it, the true change happens when organisations go beyond compliance — and start building trust from the inside out.

In this on-demand webinar, Safecall’s Joanna Lewis, Eve Maxwell and Tim Smith, along with Christine Young (Partner at Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer), share expert insight into how HR, legal and compliance professionals can take practical steps to reduce risk, protect people and support those who speak up.

Whether you’re reviewing your approach or building a prevention strategy from the ground up, this session offers real-world advice and clear actions to take forward.

Key points that we covered:

The Legal Landscape: What the Worker Protection Act 2023 means for your organisation — and how to stay ahead of enforcement risk.
Manager Readiness: Why most employees go to their line manager first — and why that makes training essential to building a respectful culture.
Reporting and Investigation: How to manage concerns with care and consistency — including anonymous reports and complex cases.
Building Trust: Why communication, clear processes and targeted training are key to prevention and long-term culture change.

Key takeaways:

Real Risk, Real Impact: Sexual harassment has real consequences — from reputational damage to costly legal action.
The Manager’s Role: Most concerns go to managers. Their response shapes how safe employees feel speaking up.
Action Starts Now: There are simple, practical steps you can take today to improve reporting, reduce risk, and protect your people.
