Prevention of Sexual Harassment at the Bar (Advanced)

Helping senior leaders in chambers meet the requirements of anti-sexual harassment legislation. 

Barristers and legal professionals work in environments where professional interactions extend beyond chambers, into courtrooms, conferences, meetings, social events and even online. These varied settings can blur boundaries and create situations where inappropriate behaviour may occur or go unchallenged.

In light of the changes to the Worker Protection Act 2010 placing additional responsibility on chambers and barristers toprotect members and staff from sexual harassment, this module aims to equip senior leaders with the knowledge of what constitutes sexual harassment and the different types of abuse, as well as the measures that should be taken to prevent sexual harassment, and importantly, responding to harassment claims and the investigation steps.
