However, while these mitigating amendments are useful, I still most strongly support Amendment 45, which would leave out Clause 20 entirely. In addition to arguments previously raised in Committee, the Law Society has now got involved and has identified that employers must take all reasonable steps to prevent their staff experiencing harassment by third parties. The Law Society—not me—notes that while employers will be familiar with the notion of taking “reasonable steps”, inclusion of the word “all” runs the risk of setting an unreasonably high bar for employers to clear.
