The event will also be joined by Alison Henderson, Policy and Research Manager at the Fawcett Society, who will share findings from the charity’s recent report around tackling sexual harassment in the workplace.

The toolkit includes an implementation framework, example anonymous worker survey, example checklist/risk assessment and an example model policy. These materials will be available via the TU Education website. 

The promotion of these materials will be supported by a TU Ed webinar on Monday the 13 December at 2:00 pm. Sign up on the TUC website.
