Sexual Harassment Training
Legal changes are coming. Are you ready?
The legal expectations on employers are rising. From October 2026, employers will be required to take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, with new protections also extending to harassment by third parties. This raises the standard for organisations to take proactive, demonstrable action to prevent sexual harassment and protect their people.
Compliance is no longer simply about having the right policy or delivering a one-off training session. Employers need to be able to show that their approach is understood, embedded and making a measurable difference.
Our sexual harassment prevention training and certified programmes turn legal responsibilities into practical workplace behaviours. From customer homes and construction sites to offices and boardrooms, we give people the clarity, confidence and professional judgement to recognise risk, challenge inappropriate behaviour and act before it escalates.
Featured Client: Mountjoy
A certified professional standards programme for the construction industry.
Our work with Mountjoy
For Mountjoy Managing Director Simon Ingram, preventing sexual harassment isn’t simply about compliance. It’s about building a healthy organisation where expectations around behaviour are understood at every level.
With a workforce of around 350 people working across very different environments, Engendering Change has worked with Mountjoy to bring those expectations to life through practical, scenario-led training.
The result is more than awareness. It creates conversations, challenges assumptions and gives people greater confidence to recognise and address inappropriate behaviour when they encounter it.
The Risk Businesses Face
Organisations today operate under increasing scrutiny:
Strengthened sexual harassment duties
Safeguarding accountability
Social media amplification
Procurement culture assessments
Legal claims and settlements
Reputational exposure
Regulators expect proactive prevention, not a reactive response. Clients expect visible standards. One preventable incident can cost more than an entire training programme.
Protection is not optional. It is a leadership responsibility.
How We Protect Your Company

Our programmes:
- Translate policy into real-world behaviour
