Aligning with EHRC's New Technical Guidance

At stopsexualmisconduct.co.uk, as the UK's only company dedicated solely to the eradication of sexual harassment within the workplace, naturally, we are deeply committed to fostering a safe and respectful workplace environment. With the recent release of the new technical guidance by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which states that "Employers have a positive legal duty to prevent sexual harassment of their workers. They must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of workers in the course of their employment (the ‘preventative duty’)," our dedication to this cause has never been more pertinent.

Our certified preventative sexual harassment training was developed by industry experts with a combined experience of 90 years spanning over 35 years. This extensive expertise is reflected in our carefully curated training courses, which go beyond the basic statutory requirements, setting a new standard for workplace safety and inclusivity.
