WEBINAR

All Reasonable Steps: Preparing for the October 2026 Harassment Changes

Join our free live webinar · Tuesday 27 October 2026, 11am

From 30 October 2026, the duty to prevent sexual harassment moves from “reasonable steps” to “all reasonable steps”. You’ll also become liable for harassment of your employees by third parties, such as customers, clients, and contractors, and that covers harassment related to any relevant protected characteristic. 

A policy and generic training are a solid foundation, but they’re unlikely to be enough on their own. You’ll need to show you’ve assessed the risks in your organisation, which is exactly what our Harassment Risk Assessment helps you do. 

Join Sarah Gray, Director of HR, for a practical session on what’s changing and what to do next. 

What does the webinar cover?

In this session, we’ll cover: 

  • What’s changing: The new “all reasonable steps” duty and third-party harassment liability. 
  • What “all reasonable steps” means: What the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) expects, and why policy and training alone aren’t enough. 
  • Assessing your risks: What a harassment risk assessment should cover, from client sites to work events, and how it shows you’ve taken all reasonable steps. 
  • Sector-specific guidance: What reasonable steps can look like in your sector. 
  • Practical next steps: A clear action plan, including how an independent assessment can help. 

These changes affect every employer, so this session is for anyone responsible for people at work, from HR teams and business owners to line managers. 

All attendees will receive a practical harassment prevention checklist, so you can leave the session ready to act, not just informed.

How our Harassment Risk Assessment can help

The EHRC has made it clear: “It is unlikely that an employer will be able to comply with the preventative duty unless they carry out a risk assessment.” 

Our Harassment Risk Assessment gives you an independent review of your harassment risks, with an objective report and a prioritised action plan. We’ll give you the report and recommendations; putting them into practice remains your responsibility as the employer.
