Time is Short -A Hotline to Report Sexual Harassment is coming!

Our last newsletter reminded you that  October 26th  will see the introduction of the new duty on employers to comply with the Preventative Duty on Sexual Harassment.

It will apply to your company or organisation.

Large and small employers may carry out their duty to prevent harassment in different ways but the Equality and Human Rights Commission(EHRC) stress that no employer is exempt from this duty because of size

And  the Equality and Human Rights Commission(EHRC) has announced that it will:-

Establish a mechanism for employees and employee representatives to notify them of breaches or potential breaches of the preventative duty. 

A fast-track  hotline!

Time is short but we can help you with tailored briefings or courses for your:-
