Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment School Toolkit

The Worker Protection Act 2023 came into force in the UK on 26th October 2024. Every employer in the UK now has a legal duty to work proactively — and not retrospectively — to address sexual harassment in the workplace.

Our powerful Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment School Toolkit, priced at £325 (+VAT), features 10 education specific tools and easy to use downloads and templates,  to support Schools and Academies to comply with the new legal duty. See contents and sample pages below.
