Overview
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.

- Understand Harassment vs. Bullying – Learn the legal definitions and why the distinction matters under the Worker Protection Act
