Course Overview

Learn about the facts, statistics, and regulations regarding inappropriate behaviour in working environments in the UK when you take our course on Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. Recent social movements and high-profile incidents have spotlighted continuing examples of sexual intimidation and gender inequality in some organisations and premises. Everyone has the right to be treated fairly, without the fear of being sexually manipulated or objectified. As a senior figure in a company or business, you have the responsibility to uphold this right.

The contents of this SHWT will explain the definitions of sexual harassment and how managerial staff should monitor for its unwanted presence. You will learn how to identify a “hostile” environment to a gender, recognise instances of genuine harassment, and follow local policies in terms of reportage and disciplinary actions. The course will show you how to investigate complaints and lawfully deal with the outcome in the most appropriate way for the victim.
