From 30 October 2026, organisations must take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment at work, including harassment by customers, clients, patients and other third parties.
About our Preventing Sexual Harassment training solution
If you are ready to build a safe and productive workplace culture, this package is for you. This is not another tick-box exercise. It’s a comprehensive, immersive solution that helps your organisation meet a stricter legal standard and, more importantly, change everyday behaviour.
At the end of this training, learners will:
- Recognise what types of behaviours constitute sexual harassment.
- Understand the personal effect of sexual harassment in the workplace.
- Be aware of the business impacts of sexual harassment.
- Identify key legislation relating to sexual harassment at work.
Contact us today to get your organisation ready for October 2026.
New legislation from 30 October 2026: what it means for your organisation
Since October 2024, the Worker Protection Act 2023 has required employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. From 30 October 2026, the Employment Rights Act 2025 raises that bar.
What’s changing:
Two versions: for your teams and for your managers
Everyone has a role in preventing sexual harassment, but not everyone has the same responsibilities. That’s why our training comes in two versions.
Both versions are supported by skill sparks, skill boosts and a skill reel to reinforce learning over 12 months.
Tailored for your sector
Sexual harassment looks different depending on where people work, and so does the risk from third parties. Choose the version that fits your organisation.
General / office (teams and managers) – For organisations across the private, public and third sectors. Realistic workplace scenarios covering colleague behaviour, client and customer interactions, work socials and remote or hybrid working.
Education (students and staff) – For universities, colleges and other education providers. Separate learning for students and staff, supporting a whole-institution approach. Helps staff understand their protection from harassment by students and visitors, and supports universities working towards the Office for Students’ requirements on harassment and sexual misconduct.
Health – Designed for staff working with patients, service users and the public, from ward teams to reception and community staff. With employers now liable for third-party harassment, this version focuses on the situations frontline health workers face every day: recognising inappropriate behaviour from patients and visitors, setting boundaries, and knowing how to report and get support.

This package is designed to ensure that learning doesn’t end at the completion of the course but opens the door to proactive learning and questioning.
What our customers say:
“A major highlight of this journey with Me Learning has been the positive culture change we have seen across our organisation. It’s now so clear that online learning has enabled NML employees to understand that courses delivered digitally can provide a highly engaging and responsive experience.
Our partnership with Me Learning has been so successful that our people are now asking for more training with a heightened enthusiasm to keep on building their skills and knowledge so they can continue to do their jobs to the best of their ability.”
Mark Davies, Director of People at National Museums of Liverpool (NML)
“By working with Me Learning to create fresh and engaging digital content on this important topic, we have been able to make available training to a much larger proportion of the hundreds of thousands within the recreational cricketing community in England and Wales. Only by reaching out on this scale will it be possible to instil a positive culture throughout the recreational game.”
Marcus Puddephatt, ECB Head of Recreational Game Discipline
“Me Learning have developed an excellent e-learning package for us, and we are very pleased with the high standard to which it has been produced. We have no doubt that our e-learning package, that we commissioned Me Learning to develop, will have a really positive impact on learners taking the course and will therefore have benefits to the communities we work with. Thank-you Me Learning team!”
Stewart Nicolson, Quality & Workforce Manager at Career Connect
“I know from speaking to colleagues in other local authorities that we have managed to train more people, in less time and at less cost than many other councils because Me Learning has helped us to understand the art of the possible when it comes to using technology to drive learning for frontline professionals who are time-poor and highly committed to doing what’s right for the children and young people in their care.”
Jeff Burns, Early Help Programme Team Manager, Directorate for Children and Commissioning Services at Manchester City Council
“I have worked over a period of several years with the professionals from Me learning and found them to be excellent in both their flexible approach to solving complex matters and they have always approached any challenges in a dynamic and proactive manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending this organisation and can confirm the quality of their input is extremely high and solution focused. As a direct result of our partnership working, our ability to meet and exceed the demands of the business have been met.”
Head of Adult Safeguarding and Mental Health, Dudley MBC
“I don’t think we place sufficient emphasis yet on training and we need to open our eyes to a smarter, digitally led style of learning, which is far more responsive to the needs of individual learners. Me Learning has been working extensively with other public sector organisations for over 15 years on this and you can see how using technology for learning has vastly improved training outcomes, abstractions and reduced the overall cost of training.”
Andy Rhodes, Former Chief Constable at Lancashire Constabulary
Backed by research with the University of Sussex
Our approach is grounded in evidence. Working with the University of Sussex alongside our own research, we design techniques that help learners retain the most information in the least time.
Studies show that spaced retrieval learning is one of the most effective learning techniques, improving outcomes by 10–30% compared with traditional methods. It’s the methodology behind every element of this package.
The result is learning that lasts. Instead of a single course that’s forgotten within months, your people revisit and reinforce what they’ve learned throughout the year. This builds lasting behaviour change and gives you a clear record of ongoing prevention activity.
