The ILO published a report in 2024 that recommended creating a comprehensive approach to preventing and addressing gender-based violence in the workplace, including sexual harassment, through enhanced health and safety frameworks. These included mandatory policies that explicitly acknowledged gender-based violence through risk assessment and management, and through training. So that is what we have put forward. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 mandates that employers have a duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees at work as far as is reasonably practical.
