Bullying and Harassment has been updated to cover the requirements of the Act in the following ways:
- includes Sexual Harassment Awareness content
- emphasises that employers have a duty to provide a safe place of work and take reasonable steps to prevent harassment
- tells learners what they can expect from their organisation, how they can contribute to a positive culture and when they should speak up and challenge colleagues
😎 What's coming
The following courses are in production and will go live between November-January:

As a reminder, we encourage your learners to complete these courses before the upgrade begins or start these courses after the maintenance period. This will ensure that no progress is lost.
