Since 26 October 2024, employers have new duties under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 – employers need to be proactive and take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment.

At FG Solicitors we are already seeing an increase in awareness about sexual harassment in the workplace and the type of behaviour that should not be tolerated, which is leading to more claims and complaints. As a response, businesses are reaching out for more guidance to understand their obligations.
