Section 2: identifying sexual harassment

Section 2 considers the ‘grey’ areas of sexual harassment, presenting unclear scenarios to help you to understand what does and does not constitute sexual harassment in the workplace.

About the Course

The Sexual Harassment Awareness Training course is designed to teach participants what sexual harassment looks like and the effects it can have. Defined as any unwanted attention, behaviour, or touch of a sexual nature, sexual harassment can affect the safety and wellbeing of people of all genders, is against the law, and should not be tolerated in the workplace.

This course raises awareness of sexual harassment by giving detailed example scenarios of what does and does not constitute sexual harassment. It then provides information and resources for how to confront and report it if it occurs. This should be used as a preventative measure rather than as a corrective tool.

Available in 31 languages, the course takes around 25 minutes to complete.
