Who is this for?

Designed for L&D leaders and senior HR and people leaders who need to understand how their training responsibilities are affected by the Worker Protection Act and who play a role in shaping organisational approaches to sexual harassment prevention.

Overview:

The Worker Protection Act introduces a new proactive duty on employers to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. In force since October 2024, the Act places increased emphasis on the role of sexual harassment prevention training as a core part of an organisation’s legal defence.

This course helps L&D leaders understand how sexual harassment prevention training is now viewed under the law. It explains why existing approaches may no longer be sufficient. It explores the shift in expectations and what this means for learning design, delivery, and long-term compliance.

Focusing on prevention rather than response, the course supports L&D leaders to strengthen the credibility, relevance, and defensibility of their training programmes, while contributing to safer workplace cultures.
