We have launched this new policy and supporting assurance framework for integrated care boards and trusts to adopt and adapt, ensuring that any member of staff who has experienced inappropriate and/or harmful sexual behaviours at work is supported by their employer.
It will help staff to:
- understand their rights and responsibilities
- recognise and report sexual misconduct at work
- get advice and support
An overview of the policy is also available.
Alongside the policy is a new e-learning resource, designed to equip people working and learning in the NHS with the knowledge and skills to recognise and respond to sexual misconduct.
