Preventing harassment: a masterclass



Harassment is a serious issue for employers.  

It can affect employee mental health, cause conflict between employees, and can have a serious impact on productivity and morale.   

The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduced new laws that all employers need to understand, and further changes are being introduced in October this year.  

Employers will need to make sure their policies are up to date and legally compliant. 

This masterclass brings together Acas experts and leading guest speakers to help you prepare.  

We will explore: 
  • harassment and the law 
  • the differences between bullying and harassment 
  • harassment from third parties 
  • the Employment Rights Act 2025 
  • duty of care and vicarious liability 
  • reporting systems 
  • preventing and addressing harassment 
  • supporting people involved in a harassment complaint

Sexual harassment in the workplace - understanding the law

Level - Foundation

Employers have a legal duty to protect their employees and prevent them from being sexually harassed. 

Employers who clearly communicate their policies and expectations on sexual harassment will: 

  • more likely comply with their statutory duty 
  • have more engaged and productive employees
  • improve employee mental health and wellbeing
  • experience reduced absence levels and turnover

 This training will discuss practical steps for preventing sexual harassment, creating policies and completing risk assessments. 

It will also provide valuable tips and tactics for reducing sexual harassment that can be applied in any workplace.
