CEO responds to Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023:
Sexual harassment is pervasive, often having profound and long-lasting impacts on people’s lives, personal relationships, wellbeing, and livelihoods. I have over 15 years’ experience dealing with harassment and sexual harassment cases, up to and including Employment Tribunal. Since I worked on cross-government development of equality legislation in my early career, I have always advocated for increased preventative measures around sexual harassment in the workplace and welcome this strengthening of the Equality Act 2010.
