Is your businesses ready for the upcoming sexual harassment law changes?

From 30th October 2026, businesses will face increased responsibilities when it comes to preventing workplace and third party sexual harassment.

Read our latest infographic to find out what's changing and the actions employers should be taking to prepare.

Employer harassment responsibilities are changing from October 30th.

Following on from measures for employers to take ‘reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment being introduced in 2024, employers must now take ‘all reasonable steps’, whilst also being directly liable for third-party harassment.

Training, risk assessments and updating of policies and procedures will all play an important role to ensure you are meeting your obligations and keeping your employees safe.

14/10/2026

On 30th October, the law regarding sexual harassment in workplaces is strengthened to require employers to take “ALL reasonable steps” (rather than just “reasonable steps”) to prevent sexual harassment. It will also increase in scope to include harassment by third parties.

We have been flagging this change for months, so hopefully regular readers are well informed. But a recent survey by Acas found that about 40% of employers were still unaware of the changes. So if you know any businesses that are in this situation, please do share this with them.

In our latest blog, we discuss new the harassment law changes along with the actions employers need to take to ensure they are ready and compliant ahead of 30th october: https://www.hrdept.co.uk/knowledge-hub/blog/taking-all-reasonable-steps-to-prevent-sexual-harassment
