Preventing Harassment Compliance Training Hub
Online courses for staff
Preventing harassment requires more than having a workplace policy in place. Policies set expectations; people prevent harassment. Employers need to take proactive steps to prevent harassment and demonstrate they are meeting their legal responsibilities under legislation such as the Employment Rights Act.
Effective compliance training gives staff the understanding they need to help create a respectful workplace. Skillcast provides expert-led flexible online training that can be rolled out across your organisation or tailored to your specific needs. Equip employees and managers with practical knowledge, reinforce expected behaviours and create a more proactive approach to preventing workplace harassment.

Preventing Sexual Harassment for Managers
The duty is anticipatory, meaning an employer has to act before an incident rather than respond well afterwards. Tribunals will look for what was done in advance, and manager training is one of the first things examined. Beyond the legal position, managers set what is tolerated in a team, and no policy overrides what a manager lets pass.

The Worker Protection Act 2023 amended the Equality Act 2010 to strengthen protection and place a preventative duty on employers, enforceable through tribunals. Prevention is assessed on what happened before an incident, not the quality of the investigation afterwards. Training the whole workforce is the clearest step an employer can take, and the first one a tribunal will look for.

Preventing Sexual Harassment Training
Legal definitions differ by country but the behaviour does not, and multinational employers are judged against their own stated standard as much as local law. Under-reporting is the common feature everywhere. Training the whole workforce consistently establishes one expectation across all locations, and gives your organisation credible evidence of the preventative action increasingly required of it.
