SUMMARY:Peer Learning Forum: Sexual Harassment and the Worker Protection Act
DESCRIPTION:Join to examine employer responsibilities to prevent sexual harassment and how to respond proactively under the Worker Protection Act\n\n\nThis is an online event taking place on Microsoft Teams \n \nAudience\nBusiness in the Community (BITC) members\, as well as non-members who have an advisory package with us. Hosted by our issue experts\, there are 20 forums a year\, covering a range of responsible business areas and enabling our members to discuss challenges\, solutions and ideas.  \nThis event will be of particular value to HR\, legal\, and safeguarding leads responsible for policy\, compliance and workplace culture. \n\n\nBackground\nBITC’s supports employers to build safe\, respectful\, and inclusive workplaces where dignity at work is protected. Preventing harassment is closely linked to broader culture\, leadership behaviour\, and organisational trust—core themes across BITC’s responsible business framework. \nAbout the event\nThe Worker Protection Act signals a shift from reactive response toward preventative duty. Employers are now expected not only to address incidents but to demonstrate the steps they take to reduce risk and create safe working environments. \nThis session will explore: \n\nWhat “reasonable steps” look like in practice\n\n\nThe role of leadership\, culture\, and reporting mechanisms\n\n\nHow prevention connects to wider inclusion and psychological safety strategies\n\nThrough shared discussion\, we will identify practical actions organisations can take to strengthen prevention and accountability. \n\n\n\nAbout Business in the Community’s Peer Learning Forums\nBITC’s Peer Learning Forums provide a confidential environment to discuss common issues\, solutions\, and good practice. There will be an emphasis on discussion and sharing experiences. All contributions from businesses will be confidential within the group and won’t be shared externally by BITC. \n \nBooking and contact details and further information\n\nContact events@bitc.org.uk for any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
