The Worker Protection Act (amendment of Equality Act 2010) will change the duty of employers from redress to prevention.
This follows a charter release from NHS England on sexual safety at work, which asks employers to commit to a zero-tolerance approach to any unwanted, inappropriate and harmful sexual behaviours towards the workforce.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is updating its 2020 technical guidance on sexual harassment in the workplace. This will help employers to comply with the new duty and understand the law.
You can feed into the EHRC consultation on the technical guidance until August 6, 2024. The technical guidance will then be published in September 2024.
