Government responds to sexual harassment in the workplace consultation
The government has issued its response to the consultation on sexual harassment in the workplace. The Minister for Women and
Equalities, Liz Truss, said: “The steps we plan to take as a result of this consultation will help to shift the dial, prompting
employers to take steps which will make a tangible and positive difference. We want to provide the right legal framework,
which supports employees and employers alike. We will be providing further protections to employees who are the victims of
sexual harassment, whilst also furnishing employers with the motivation and support to put in place practises and policies
which respond to the needs of their organisation.”
