Join us for this FREE in-person event focussing on The Worker Protection Act and whether we are doing enough to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.

The Worker Protection Act has now been in force for eight months, placing a greater legal duty on employers to proactively prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.

Since its introduction, the number of sexual harassment cases reported to ACAS has risen significantly.

So, why is this happening, and what does it mean for employers?

Join our experts, Stella Chandler and Mike Cole, as they unpack the impact of the legislation, explore the rise in cases, and share clear practical steps to ensure your organisation remains compliant and up to date with the latest legal requirements, whilst adopting a safe workplace culture.

Director, Focal Point

“I thrive on seeing others develop and use the skills we have taught them. We work with organisations to shape workplace behaviour using our full range of consultancy services including facilitation, coaching and training

Key areas are helping managers to shape the behaviour in their organisations, which includes creating, embedding and maintaining the right environments where everyone feels comfortable and can contribute to their potential.

We support organisations to resolve situations where behaviour is not appropriate including where relationships have been affected or broken down. We pride ourselves on building long-term relationships and partnerships with our clients who are in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. We develop people, managers, leaders and teams through group training sessions, one-to-one approaches and facilitated sessions.

I am proud that our clients are prepared to recommend us to others.”
