Webinar: NFM and ERA 2025: Who Owns Misconduct in FCA-Regulated Firms?
Build a defensible, joined-up approach to harassment and non-financial misconduct
23rd June | 11am BST | 45 minutes
With the strengthened harassment prevention duty under the Employment Rights Act 2025 and the FCA’s evolving non-financial misconduct (NFM) framework, firms must rethink how misconduct is identified, managed and evidenced.
More information about the session
From 1 September 2026, serious bullying and harassment will be treated as regulatory misconduct, carrying implications for Conduct Rules and fitness & propriety assessments.
The question is no longer "what does the policy say?" but who owns misconduct, and how do you prove you’ve taken all reasonable steps to prevent it?
Why should you watch?
Many firms still rely on generic training and siloed processes. That approach will not stand up to:
- Tribunal scrutiny under ERA 2025
- FCA expectations on culture and conduct risk
- Increased regulatory focus on non-financial misconduct
This practical session will show you how to move beyond policies to a joined-up, evidence-based approach.
What will you learn?
-
How the rules connect
-
What “all reasonable steps” really looks like
-
How to manage dual accountability
-
How to evidence a defensible approach
Who should watch?
- Compliance Officers
- HR Leaders
- L&D Leaders
- SMF Holders & Senior Managers
If you're responsible for culture, conduct, or regulation — this session is for you.

Join us to learn how to build a joined-up, future-ready approach to misconduct that protects your people — and your firm.
