UK Employers’ New Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment: Are You Ready?

Employers in the UK have a new duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of employees in the course of their employment under the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, which comes into force on 26 October 2024. Ahead of the effective date, employers may be wondering what steps they should be taking to ensure they are ready to comply.
