Wake Smith Employment Law Breakfast: Preventing Workplace Sexual Harassment
About this Event
From October 2026, employers will be under a legal duty to take "all reasonable steps" to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, with new obligations relating to third-party harassment. The changes raise the bar for employers and make proactive prevention more important than ever.
Join Wake Smith's Employment Law team for a practical seminar designed to help employers understand the new requirements and prepare with confidence.
This interactive session will explain what the changes mean in practice, explore the steps employers should be taking now, and provide practical advice to help reduce legal risk.
