Shaping a culture of respect and safety: Preventing sexual harassment in our schools
Join Dai Durbridge and Emma Hughes for this free webinar where we’ll explain what the new sexual harassment and harassment at work guidance means for school settings and steps you can take to improve organisational culture.
The new guidance marks a game-changing shift in employer duties, demanding immediate action to prevent sexual harassment and protect staff.
We aim to equip employers with the knowledge and tools to foster a workplace environment that not only complies with the new law but also champions a culture of respect, safety, and inclusivity.
Understanding the new legislation: A look at the upcoming changes in the law, focusing on the increased liability for employers and the implications for workplace policies and practices.
Best practices for compliance: Practical guidance on how to adapt your workplace policies, procedures and training to meet the new legal requirements, including the development of effective risk assessment, reporting and response mechanisms.
Cultural transformation: Strategies for leading a culture change within your organisation that supports a zero-tolerance approach to sexual harassment, promoting respect and safety for all employees.
As always, we’ll bring this to life with relevant examples of how this relates to school and trust settings, offer practical tips on how to manage these changes and give you plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
Secure your free place now and take a step towards creating a more respectful and safer workplace.
