The clock is ticking. Employers have just 100 days to prepare for major changes to harassment law coming into force in October 2026.
These reforms significantly raise the bar - introducing liability for third-party harassment and a stricter duty to take “all reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment.
Join us for a practical 90-minute webinar focusing on what this means in practice and the steps you should take now to reduce the risk to your organisation and demonstrate compliance.
During the session we’ll cover:
1. Managing third-party harassment risks, including:
- How far your responsibility extends (including ‘banter’ and indirect comments)
- Setting clear behavioural expectations with customers and clients and using contracts and commercial arrangements to manage conduct
- Assessing risks, providing suitable training and reviewing your policies.
2. The extension of whistleblowing protections to disclosures about sexual harassment which are already in force
3. What “all reasonable steps” looks like in practice and how to evidence it.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, and we’ll make the sessions as interactive as possible.
This session is designed for HR, in-house counsel, senior leaders and those responsible for compliance, risk and workplace culture.
Please RSVP to secure your place.
We hope you are able to join us.
