New Workplace Harassment Responsibilities Are Coming This October. Is Your Organisation Ready?
From October 2026, employers across the UK will have a greater legal responsibility to help prevent workplace sexual harassment.
This isn’t simply a policy update or another compliance exercise. It represents a significant shift in what organisations are expected to do to create safer working environments.
The next phase of the Employment Rights Act 2025 means employers must take proactive steps to help prevent workplace sexual harassment before it happens, rather than simply responding when incidents occur.
For many organisations, the question is simple.
Do you know what you need to do?
If you’re unsure, you’re not alone.
That’s why the Hollie Gazzard Trust is hosting two free Protect Your People webinars, designed to explain what the changes mean, what employers should be thinking about now, and the practical steps organisations can take to create safer workplaces.
During this free 20-minute webinar, you’ll learn:
✔ What is changing from October 2026.
✔ What the new employer responsibilities mean in practice.
✔ Why workplace safety goes beyond sexual harassment.
✔ How issues such as stalking, coercive control, domestic abuse and lone working can affect your workforce.
✔ Practical steps organisations can take to better support employees and create a safer workplace culture.
You’ll also receive an exclusive introduction to the Hollie Gazzard Trust’s new Digital Workplace Toolkits, developed to help organisations continue learning long after the webinar has finished.
