Workers Protection Act & Office for Student Compliant Training

We offer a comprehensive review of your organisation’s policies, procedures, reporting, and support mechanisms for sexual harassment. Our expert team can:

• Conduct an independent review of your organisation’s current policies, procedures, and workplace culture.
• Work with leadership teams to identify key areas for improvement and develop a tailored action plan.
• Embed lasting cultural change through anonymous climate surveys, risk assessments, policy and procedure development, and a monitoring and evaluation frameworks. 

We provide expert-led workplace training courses to equip leaders and employees with the knowledge and skills to notice workplace harassment and act. Our courses are fully compliant with the Worker Protection Act and tailored to your organisation’s needs. They include:

• Sexual Harassment in the Workplace for Leadership and Senior Managers
• Sexual Harassment in the Workplace for Staff
• Being an Active Bystander: Preventing Workplace Harassment.

All our courses build confidence in addressing workplace harassment by creating open conversations. Participants will explore their own views, societal attitudes, and understand their legal responsibilities, raising awareness of the challenges faced by those who experience harassment.​ Through interactive exercises, real-life scenarios and reflective practice, attendees will develop the skills to recognise indicators of harassment, intervene effectively, and uphold organisational policies and procedures. ​The goal is to create a safer, inclusive, and harassment-free workplace where everyone feels supported and respected.

We can support universities in developing survivor-centred, trauma-informed policies and governance. These clear, transparent, and survivor-centred policies and procedures align with the OfS Guidance and trauma-informed best practices. Our approach ensures that:

• Risk governance frameworks are proactive, accountable, and effectively manage safeguarding concerns.
• Policies are easily accessible, widely advertised, and actively communicated to students and staff.

We can work with universities to strengthen reporting mechanisms and support. Effective reporting systems are critical for trust and accountability. We:

• Review and refine existing reporting mechanisms to ensure students and staff can confidentially and effectively report harassment and misconduct.
• Provide guidance and hands-on support for strengthening these processes and embedding them across the institution.

With our context-specific training we equip staff and students with the right knowledge and tools to respond to and prevent harassment and misconduct. We offer specialist training, that is compliant with the OfS Guidance, including:

• Harassment and Sexual Misconduct for University Staff.
• Harassment and Sexual Misconduct for University Students.
• Sexual Violence Liaison Officer (SVLO) Training: Responding, Supporting, and Empowering Survivors.
• Sexual Misconduct Disciplinary Proceedings Training.

Each course is tailored to the higher education context, ensuring staff and students are confident, informed, and prepared to uphold safe campus environments.

We can offer monitoring and evaluation for continuous improvement. We help universities:

• Collect and analyse data on harassment reports to assess trends and gaps.
• Establish a clear, transparent system for managing and resolving reports.
• Embed a culture of ongoing evaluation, ensuring that policies and training remain effective and responsive to student and staff needs.
