Workplace Culture & Compliance

Preventing and Addressing Sexual Harassment: A Manager's Guide

Online course CareCPD accredited Included with Nest Learn

Managers carry a legal and personal duty to act on any concern about sexual harassment that reaches them, however informally it is raised. This course covers what the law now requires, how to respond the moment a report is made, how to run a fair investigation while supporting everyone involved, and the proactive steps that count as taking reasonable steps to prevent harassment.

It is explicit that inaction is not neutral — it exposes the manager personally and the organisation legally.
