About this event
From October 2026, employers must have in place ‘all reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment. What does this mean in practice? How can organisations assess their current approach, identify gaps and implement a more robust and defensible compliance framework?
This Personnel Today webinar, in association with learning provider VinciWorks, follows on from our March 2026 session which explored the legal framework for preventing sexual harassment, whistleblowing considerations and approaches, such as bystander intervention.
In Part 2, Personnel Today editor Rob Moss is joined by Nick Henderson Mayo, head of compliance at VinciWorks, and Ruth Mittelmann Cohen, head of legal compliance, for a practical, implementation-focused discussion on how to design, develop and evidence an ‘all reasonable steps’ approach ahead of the October 2026 deadline.
The session will examine how these key elements fit together in practice, from assessing third-party harassment risk to equipping managers to handle disclosures and investigations. The focus is on building a coherent framework that can withstand regulatory scrutiny and tribunal challenge.
