Helping managers act clearly, consistently and responsibly when sexual harassment concerns arise
Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process...
How does this course help your business?
Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process helps your organisation move from awareness to practical action. Designed for managers and leaders, this digital course focuses on what people with supervisory or process responsibility need to do before, during and after a sexual harassment concern, incident or disclosure.
It supports learners to spot risks early, respond appropriately when something is raised, record factual information, escalate through the correct route and consider what needs to happen next. With the Employment Rights Act changes placing further responsibilities on employers to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, including in relation to third-party harassment, organisations need managers who understand their part in prevention and response.
This course supports that wider requirement by giving learners a clear, practical framework: spot it, record it, raise it, act on it.

Why this course?
Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process is designed for organisations that want managers and leaders to understand not just what sexual harassment is, but what they are responsible for doing about it. General awareness training is important, but managers also need practical guidance on prevention, escalation, documentation, first response and follow-up. The Employment Rights Act changes increase the emphasis on proactive prevention, with employers expected to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment and address risks linked to third parties such as customers, clients, contractors, visitors or members of the public.
This course helps organisations support that broader approach by building manager confidence and consistency. It does not replace legal advice, policy review, risk assessment or wider organisational action, but it does help managers understand the everyday process steps that make prevention more visible, better recorded and more likely to be acted on.
What does it cover?
Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process
Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process covers the practical responsibilities involved in preventing and responding to sexual harassment at work. Learners explore what prevention looks like in day-to-day management practice, including how to spot potential risk, use existing policies appropriately and understand when concerns need to be escalated. The course also looks at what managers should do when something is raised, including first-response steps, factual recording, referral and follow-up. Third-party harassment is included as a distinct focus, helping learners consider risks connected to customers, clients, contractors, visitors, service users and others. The course ends with a practical checklist to support prevention, response, recording, referral and review.
How do we do it?
Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process is delivered as a self-directed e-learning course that learners can complete digitally. The course is interactive and process focused, using short sections, reflection points, scenario activities and decision-based questions to help learners apply the content to realistic workplace situations.
Taking a maximum of 45 minutes to complete, it’s aimed at managers and leaders, or anyone with responsibility for supervising people, handling concerns, escalating issues, managing risk or applying workplace processes. Learners are guided through practical stages of prevention and response, from spotting risk and using policy appropriately, to responding to a disclosure, documenting factual information, escalating through the correct route and considering follow-up action. The course ends with a final checklist and scenario-based assessment, with a requirement to pass and download a certificate as evidence for compliance tracking.

WHY IS THIS COURSE IMPORTANT?
Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process is important because managers and leaders are often the people expected to notice risk, respond to concerns, escalate issues and help make workplace processes work in practice. The Employment Rights Act changes raise the bar for employers by strengthening the focus on all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, including risks involving third parties.
This course helps managers understand how to spot risk, record concerns, escalate appropriately and review what needs to change after an incident. It supports safer working environments, stronger employee trust and more confident decision-making, while forming part of a wider organisational approach to prevention.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process
Who is Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process designed for?
This course is designed for managers and leaders, and for anyone with responsibility for supervising people, handling concerns, escalating issues, managing risk or applying workplace processes. It is particularly useful for people who may need to respond when a concern, disclosure or incident is raised.
Is this course the same as general sexual harassment awareness training?
No. Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process is not a repeat of general awareness training. It focuses on practical responsibility and process: what to do before, during and after a concern, incident or disclosure. It is designed to support managers and leaders with prevention, first response, escalation, documentation and follow-up.
How does this course support the Employment Rights Act changes?
The course supports organisations by helping managers understand their role in prevention, response, recording, referral and review. The Employment Rights Act changes place further responsibilities on employers to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, including third-party harassment risks.
This course can support that wider approach, but it should sit alongside other organisational steps such as policy review, risk assessment, clear reporting routes, leadership accountability and appropriate wider workforce training.
Is completing this course enough to meet our legal obligations?
No. Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process should not be treated as sufficient on its own to meet an employer’s legal obligations. What counts as “all reasonable steps” will depend on the organisation, its people, its working environment and its risk profile. This course is designed to support a broader prevention strategy by helping managers apply practical process steps consistently, but it should be used alongside wider organisational action.
Does the course include third-party harassment?
Yes. The course includes a distinct section on third-party harassment, looking at what “third party” can mean, including customers, clients, patients, suppliers, contractors, visitors, service users or members of the public. It also explores the risk of treating external harassment as “part of the job” and considers practical controls such as incident logs, escalation routes, staffing arrangements, warnings, service refusal and additional support.
What makes Sexual Harassment Prevention: Responsibilities and Process practical?
The course is built around process, scenarios and decision points. Learners explore what to notice, what to record, who to refer to, when to escalate and what to review. It includes reflection points, scenario activities, a final checklist and scenario-based questions to help learners apply the process to realistic workplace situations.
