Focused Sessions — Built for Real Working Life
Not every organisation needs a full day out of the business to build genuine understanding of sexual harassment prevention. These focused 60–90 minute sessions deliver practical upskilling at three levels — employee, manager and leadership — each built around the situations that could genuinely arise in your own workplace.
We deliberately avoid exaggerated or stereotyped examples. Delegates work with believable situations — banter that gradually crosses a boundary, WhatsApp or team-chat messages, work socials, customers or contractors crossing professional boundaries — and learn to recognise risk, respond appropriately and understand their part in prevention.

Why Act Now
From 30 October 2026, employers face a strengthened duty to prevent sexual harassment
These sessions give your organisation a practical, focused way to prepare across every level, not just tick an awareness box. From 30 October 2026, employers face strengthened duties to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, with new liability for harassment by third parties such as customers, clients, contractors and service users.
This is not awareness for awareness's sake. It is practical upskilling to help people recognise risk, respond appropriately and understand their part in prevention — whether they are receiving a disclosure, managing a concern, or setting the tone from the top.
These sessions combine the legal context with real scenario practice, so every level of your organisation knows what "all reasonable steps" actually looks like in practice.
Three Sessions — One for Every Level of Your Organisation
Book one session or all three — each is a complete, standalone programme, built for a specific audience and a specific set of responsibilities.

Practical Questions at the Heart of Every Session
The learning is built around four practical questions delegates can carry back into their working day:
- What am I noticing?
- What could I do?
- Who should I speak to?
- What changes when I am the manager?
Scenarios are built around situations that could genuinely arise in any workplace — banter that gradually crosses a boundary, WhatsApp or team-chat messages, work socials and informal settings, and customers or contractors crossing professional boundaries — and can be tailored further to your organisation's sector, workforce and working environment.
Training Is Part of Prevention — Not the Whole of It
Training can be an important part of prevention, but it does not by itself establish legal compliance. Organisations should also consider policies, reporting routes, workplace risks, monitoring and other appropriate controls alongside these sessions.
These sessions are designed to sit within that wider approach — giving your people the practical judgement to recognise and respond to risk, while your organisation builds the policies and reporting routes that support them.
A Session for Every Level of Your Organisation
These three sessions are designed to reach everyone with a role to play in prevention — from front-line employees to senior leaders.
