Expert-Led Sexual Harassment Behaviour Change: An Individual Intervention Course in the Workplace
https://safeline.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Untitled-design-8.png
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

By the end of the programme, the participant will:
Demonstrate improved insight into their behaviour
Understand the impact of their actions
Develop a clear personal accountability framework
Implement strategies to prevent recurrence
For organisations, this intervention provides evidence of proactive action, strengthens safeguarding culture, and mitigates both reputational and financial risk.
Sexual Harassment in the workplace training supports organisations in meeting the October 2024 legal requirement for ALL employers to take ‘reasonable steps’ to prevent and respond to workplace sexual harassment.
Investigating sexual harassment in the workplace requires more than just procedural knowledge—it demands sensitivity, fairness, and a trauma-informed approach.
