Sexual Harassment

Government responds to sexual harassment in the workplace consultation

The government has issued its response to the consultation on sexual harassment in the workplace. The Minister for Women and Equalities, Liz Truss, said: “The steps we plan to take as a result of this consultation will help to shift the dial, prompting employers to take steps which will make a tangible and positive difference. We want to provide the right legal framework, which supports employees and employers alike. We will be providing further protections to employees who are the victims of sexual harassment, whilst also furnishing employers with the motivation and support to put in place practises and policies which respond to the needs of their organisation.”
