One-to-One Workplace Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
Expert-Led One-to-One Workplace Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for Employees
Creating a safe, respectful and legally compliant workplace is not optional. Under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, employers have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent workplace sexual harassment.
This specialist one-to-one workplace sexual harassment prevention training is designed for employees whose conduct has raised concerns following complaints, investigations, disciplinary processes or safeguarding interventions. The programme helps organisations demonstrate reasonable steps to prevent workplace sexual harassment while supporting meaningful behaviour change and reducing future risk.
Delivered by experienced practitioners, the programme combines trauma-informed practice, accountability and evidence-based behaviour change techniques to reduce future risk and promote professional workplace conduct.
This training forms part of Safeline’s Preventing & Responding to Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Training.
Why Workplace Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Matters
Workplace sexual harassment can have significant consequences for individuals, teams and organisations.
The impact can include:
- Psychological harm and trauma to staff
- Reduced employee wellbeing
- Increased sickness absence and staff turnover
- Lower productivity and morale
- Formal grievances and investigations
- Reputational damage
- Employment tribunal claims
- Financial costs linked to grievances, investigations and litigation
- Failure to meet statutory duties under the Worker Protection Act
Worker Protection Act 2023 (Amendment of Equality Act 2010)
With the introduction of the Worker Protection Act 2023 (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) employers are now expected to demonstrate that they have taken reasonable steps to prevent workplace sexual harassment. Effective intervention and employee sexual harassment training form an important part of that response.
Safeline’s programme supports organisations in strengthening compliance, reducing organisational risk and creating safer workplace cultures.

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.
