Supporting your business to ensure a harassment-free workplace
Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader....
How does this course help your business?
Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader is an interactive, engaging drama-based course supports your organisation with the legal duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.
With the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 and the further requirements under the Employment Rights Act 2025, all employers have a legal duty to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, be this from colleagues or from 3rd parties. This course, designed as a follow on to our Sexual Harassment Prevention session, helps managers to effectively navigate conversations about sexual harassment and unacceptable behaviour, recognise the individual impact they can have to ensure a zero-tolerance culture, and contribute to the wider business strategic actions required by the ‘all reasonable steps

Why this course?
With the legal duty to take ‘all reasonable steps’ coming into effect in autumn 2026, basic training on sexual harassment, whilst essential for all employees, is unlikely to be considered a robust enough approach on its own.
Supporting all employees with awareness of what constitutes sexual harassment, and why inappropriate behaviour is unacceptable is of course necessary, (see our Sexual Harassment Awareness course to help with this) but it’s important to take further steps to support your managers and leaders in order to truly embed a harassment-free culture and safe working environment.
Our Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader course enables organisations to evidence training for managers on how to navigate conversations about sexual harassment with employees, recognise potential risks and act pro-actively, and to explore the further steps they can take as leaders to support their organisation to take all reasonable steps.
What does it cover?
Our Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader course explores the challenges of navigating conversations about sexual harassment with individuals, focusing on the skills and techniques managers need to utilise to handle these appropriately and effectively.
We look at these in conjunction with your organisational policies, to root our drama scenes in realistic contexts and support your internal reporting procedures in addition to recognised best practice from ACAS.
Managers examine their own responsibilities to ensure a safe, harassment-free and respectful working environment, look at how they can support their teams, and also explore strategic level actions the business can take to ensure an enhanced organisational approach to sexual harassment prevention.
How do we do it?
In our Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader course, our expert trainer works with our professional actors to showcase challenging conversations about sexual harassment in our drama-based scenes.
These simulations can be tailored to your organisational context, and these provide a jumping off point for discussion and skills development as we see the impact of mishandling these conversations, even if the best intentions are present. We spotlight the key leadership communication skills required to navigate these conversations appropriately, supportively and effectively, in line with your organisational policies and procedures, and use forum theatre to practice what best practice looks like. We go on to focus on the individual responsibilities that managers have to assess risk and take action to prevent sexual harassment, and explore the wider organisational context, looking at how your business can ensure a robust approach to the all reasonable steps duty.
This course is designed as a follow on for managers & leaders who have completed our Sexual Harassment Awareness course, or a similar product.
Learning Outcomes.
Our Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader course supports your organisation to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace by ensuring managers understand their responsibilities and the impact they have on ensuring a harassment-free working environment.
By the end of the course, managers will be able to ….
- Describe how to assess risk and prevent sexual harassment in the workplace
- Conduct conversations about sexual harassment appropriately and effectively in line with organisational policy & procedure
- Explain their individual role and responsibility to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace
- Identify opportunities for the organisation to improve its commitment to sexual harassment prevention
Why is this course important?
Under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 and the further requirements via the Employment Rights Act 2025, all employers have a legal duty to take all reasonable steps to protect their staff from sexual harassment, from both other workers and from 3rd parties.
Training of all staff is essential, but no longer sufficient as a stand-alone step. Further training of managers & leaders, to ensure the organisational commitment to sexual harassment prevention is role modelled from the top downwards is recommended. Managers and leaders should be able to identify potential risks and take pro-active, preventative action, in addition to supporting any employees who do experience sexual harassment.
Really engaging on a challenging topic, great to see the learning done in a practical way.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader
Is this course just for managers & leaders?
Yes, as it focuses on managerial responsibilities to prevent sexual harassment. Our Sexual Harassment Awareness course is suitable for all employees.
Do learners need to complete a different course first?
We’d recommend that all managers complete our Sexual Harassment Awareness course before this one – that course covers what constitutes sexual harassment and explores the impact of inappropriate behaviour. A popular solution is for us to deliver this initial course in the morning for all employees, with managers returning in the afternoon for Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Manager. Alternatively, managers could complete the Sexual Harassment Awareness as a digital learning course before attending.
Is there role play?
No, we don’t do role play! Our drama-based approach uses realistic workplace scenarios to make the learning engaging, practical and memorable. Learners aren’t put on the spot; instead, they’re encouraged to observe, reflect and explore different approaches in a safe, supportive environment.
Can the training be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. We can tailor the training to reflect your organisation, your people, the real-life situations they face and to embed your organisational policies and procedures.
What is drama-based learning?
Drama-based learning brings workplace challenges to life through realistic, facilitated scenarios. It gives people the chance to see situations in context, and to appreciate the impact of behaviours and processes. It’s immersive, interactive and designed to make learning stick.
If managers complete the Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader course, is that enough to satisfy the legal requirement?
The Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader course is a vital component in demonstrating that your organisation is taking proactive and meaningful action to prevent workplace harassment. However, the legal definition of ‘all reasonable steps’ under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 and the further Employment Rights Act 2025 is not fixed—it will depend on your organisation’s size, structure, and specific risk profile.
As a minimum, we recommend that all staff—including employees, contractors, and freelance workers—complete our Sexual Harassment Awareness training, and those with management and leadership responsibility then complete our Sexual Harassment Prevention and Your Role as a Leader training. This should be supported a detailed risk assessment and by a clear and accessible policy outlining what constitutes sexual harassment and how to report it. It’s also important that reporting mechanisms are safe, confidential, and trusted by your workforce.
While this course forms a strong foundation, it should be part of a wider strategy that includes policy review, leadership accountability, reporting processes, and a commitment to an inclusive workplace culture.
