From October 2024, UK legislation requires employers to proactively take reasonable measures to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. Training your staff to understand what sexual harassment is, and how to respond if they experience or witness it, is a key part of this.
Why train with Tonic? We are a leading EDI training provider, offering courses designed specifically for the arts and creative environments. But crucially, each time you book a course with Tonic you also help support our work driving change across the industry. Win, win.
“The training was excellent, incredibly useful and informative.”
The training provides staff with clarity on what constitutes sexual harassment at work, what they should do if they experience or witness it, and what their employer’s legal responsibilities are towards them. We’ll also examine the role all staff can play in contributing to a working environment in which everyone feels safe and respected.
Tonic specialises in working with arts and cultural organisations so you can be confident our Preventing Sexual Harassment training will be tailored to the workplace reality of your staff and artists. We also run complimentary training sessions on this topic for managers.
