Overview

[Updated according to the New Worker Protection Act in 2026]

Sexual harassment remains a significant concern in UK workplaces, underscoring the necessity for comprehensive training programs. A 2023 survey by the Financial Conduct Authority revealed that complaints of non-financial misconduct, including sexual harassment, rose from 1,363 in 2021 to 2,347 in 2023, with bullying and harassment accounting for 26% of these complaints.

Despite the prevalence of such incidents, a substantial portion of theUK work force lacks adequate training to address and prevent sexual harassment. Research indicates that over 44% of UK business directors have never received training on workplace harassment, and 28% of non-managerial employees have either never been trained or have had only one session on the topic.

Implementing training programs on sexual harassment is essential for fostering a respectful and safe work environment. Such initiatives not only enhance awareness and understanding but also equip employees with the skills to identify and address inappropriate behavior effectively. This proactive approach is crucial for organisations aiming to comply with legal requirements and promote a positive workplace culture.

This comprehensive course on Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Awareness is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to recognise, prevent, and address sexual harassment effectively.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
