About this upcoming session
As part of its promise to protect workers, this October, the Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces several key changes to sexual harassment.
Moving away from taking ‘reasonable steps’ to ‘all reasonable steps’, the Act strengthens the existing duty to prevent sexual harassment.
Employers must also be aware that new laws mean if they don’t take ‘all reasonable steps’ to prevent any harassment of their staff by third parties, they’ll be legally liable.
This legislation means new obligations, and importantly, new risks for business owners. Our employment law experts host a free webcast to help you prepare. They’ll discuss:
- Proactive approach: Tips on how employers can ensure they demonstrated they took ‘all reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment.
- Third-party harassment: What classes as a ‘third-party’ and how you can act to prevent your staff being harassed.
- Increased compensation: Included in the existing preventative duty, failing to take ‘all reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment will see compensation awards inflate by up to 25%.
