Preventing Sexual Harassment Training Course
Companies rightly have a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment, and violations may lead not only to disciplinary action but also to perpetrator prosecution.
The Worker Protection Act 2023 is an amendment of the UK Equality Act 2010 that strengthens existing protection against sexual harassment at work.
Employers need to 'take reasonable steps' to ensure the protection of employees against sexual harassment.
Our Preventing Sexual Harassment Online Training Course will help your employees identify, avoid and report behaviour that constitutes sexual harassment.

We started using Skillcast for our employee's compliance training a few months ago and the experience has been excellent. Skillcast was very efficient in the set up process they then helped support us with rolling out our staff training in a seamless way. The course content is highly detailed and professionally delivered. Overall, I would highly recommend Skillcast as your LMS training provider.
