The New Sexual Harassment Policy: What Social Care Providers Need to Know

From 26 October 2024, social care providers across the UK will need to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.

Below, we explore what this change means for care providers and how you can prepare to meet your responsibilities with confidence and care.
