Understanding and managing sexual harassment in the workplace

Sexual harassment in the workplace can be a very difficult issue to manage as there can be moral, legal and financial implications for employers.

This course aims to support staff to recognise, challenge and deal with issues of sexual harassment effectively. It is for anyone who wants to understand what sexual harassment is and clarify what the law currently says about this issue.

As well as receiving relevant information about sexual harassment, participants will learn to recognise what may constitute sexual harassment. They will also learn practical ways of responding to allegations and when to refer to others for advice or support in what can be a very challenging area.

This course is suitable for anyone who wishes to gain greater knowledge about sexual harassment and who wants to practise ways of responding in a safe environment.
