Module 1 – Understanding Sexual Harassment

Module 2 – Roles and Responsibilities

Learners will explore accountability for preventing and addressing sexual harassment. While individuals are responsible for their own behaviour, both employers and employees share a duty to create a safe working environment. The module also explains the expectations placed on organisations under current legislation.

Module 3 – Harassment Beyond the Workplace

This section examines situations where harassment occurs outside of the workplace but is linked to work activities. It outlines the employer’s duty of care in these scenarios and provides guidance on how organisations can manage risks associated with third parties.

Module 4 – Types of Sexual Harassment

Participants will learn to identify different forms of harassment, including verbal, non-verbal (visual), and physical behaviours. The module highlights how these behaviours may present in real-world situations.

Module 5 – Recognising Sexual Harassment

This module helps learners understand how legal definitions apply in practice. It emphasises that someone does not need to be directly targeted to be affected and that witnessing inappropriate behaviour can also constitute harassment.

Module 6 – Intent and Perception

Learners will explore whether intent matters in cases of harassment. The focus is on understanding how behaviour is perceived and the impact it can have, even if it was not intended to cause harm.

Module 7 – Identifying Harassment in Practice

Through case study examples, participants will assess different workplace scenarios and decide whether the behaviours described meet the definition of sexual harassment.

Module 8 – Impact of Sexual Harassment

This module examines the effects harassment can have on individuals, including psychological, physical, and social impacts. It also explores how these experiences can influence confidence, wellbeing, and performance at work.

Module 9 – Preventing Sexual Harassment

Learners will review practical steps organisations can take to reduce the risk of harassment. This includes:

• Building a positive and respectful workplace culture
• Developing and implementing clear policies
• Involving employees in shaping procedures
• Providing training to raise awareness and understanding

Module 10 – Encouraging Reporting

This section addresses why incidents often go unreported and what organisations can do to change this. It covers how to create a supportive reporting environment, the importance of clear procedures, and legal expectations around reporting systems.

Module 11 – Responding to Complaints

The final module outlines the steps employers should take when a concern is raised. It includes guidance on handling complaints fairly, following proper investigation processes, and meeting legal requirements.
