Worker Protection Act Risk Assessments – Made Easier.  

The Worker Protection Act requires all employers to take positive pre-emptive action to prevent the sexual harassment of their employees.   Compliance is governed by adherence to The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s technical guidance.  This guidance requires all employers to assess and minimise the risks.  In the event of any incident going to tribunal or being investigated by the EHRC the employer will need to be able to evidence that they have complied, fully, with the technical guidance. 

We are frequently asked how to assess and reduce risk.  This 3-hour course explains how. 

For Whom
This course is for those who have a good understanding of the worker protection act (WPA) and the preventative duty it places on employers, who are seeking guidance and support on assessing and reducing risk.

For those that have limited understanding of the WPA we can preface this course with a 3- hour session on meeting the demands of the worker protection act.
