Overview

Creating a safe, respectful and legally compliant workplace is not optional — it is essential.

This specialist one-to-one course is designed to address and change an individual’s behaviours relating to sexual harassment in workplace and organisational settings. It is suitable for any employee who has shown low-level perpetrator behaviour and assists businesses to comply with their preventative duty under the Worker Protection Act.

Delivered by expert practitioners, the intervention provides a structured, trauma-informed and accountability-focused framework to support meaningful behaviour change. It is suitable where an individual’s conduct has raised concerns, following allegations, investigations or early safeguarding intervention.

Through structured sessions, participants develop insight into their behaviour, understand the impact on others, and build practical strategies to prevent recurrence.

The intervention also supports organisations to meet safeguarding responsibilities, minimise reputational and financial risk, and strengthen compliance with the Worker Protection Act.

This training forms part of  Safeline’s Prevention of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Training.

Why This Training Matters

Inappropriate behaviours in the workplace can cause significant harm to individuals and organisations alike. The impact can include:

  • Psychological harm and trauma to staff

  • Increased sickness absence and staff turnover

  • Reputational damage

  • Financial costs linked to grievances, investigations and litigation

  • Failure to meet statutory duties under the Worker Protection Act

With the introduction of the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, employers now have a proactive duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Our course supports organisations to meet this legal obligation confidently and effectively.

Aims of the Programme

The programme focuses on:

  • Recognising and understanding sexual harassment behaviours

  • Power dynamics, consent, and professional boundaries

  • Legal and regulatory responsibilities of individuals and employers

  • Perpetrator patterns, minimisation, and accountability

  • Reputational and financial consequences for organisations

  • Developing a clear personal prevention and compliance plan

One-to-one delivery ensures tailored, confidential support while maintaining professional accountability.

Approach

This intervention is:

  • One-to-one and confidential (within safeguarding parameters)

  • Trauma-informed, recognising the impact of trauma on both those harmed and, where relevant, the individual’s own experiences

  • Evidence-informed, drawing on behavioural and safeguarding frameworks

  • Structured and goal-oriented, with measurable outcomes

Sessions provide a safe but professionally boundaried space to challenge minimisation, denial or blame-shifting, while maintaining fairness and dignity.

Feedback from Prevention of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Training

I think a lot of the time sexual harassing behaviour is downplayed as ‘not being that serious’, when actually it really is; it was really helpful to learn about everything covered by the law. This training has certainly made me more aware of paying attention to the office culture we have.
