Module 1 – What is Sexual Harassment?

Module 2 – Roles and Responsibilities

This section outlines who is accountable when sexual harassment occurs. While individuals are responsible for their own behaviour, employers and employees both play a role in preventing harassment. It also explains the legal duty on organisations to take proactive steps under current legislation.

Learners will consider situations where harassment happens outside the physical workplace but is connected to work activities. The module explains how responsibility is determined in these cases and reinforces the employer’s duty of care.

Learners will explore how the legal definition applies in real-life situations. It highlights that individuals do not need to be directly targeted to be affected by inappropriate behaviour.
