The event, taking place at Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Club on Monday 16th November, will bring together legal experts, HR professionals and Wiltshire Police to provide practical guidance on employers’ responsibilities and how organisations can better support staff affected by domestic abuse.
It follows changes under the Employment Rights Act 2025, which come into force on 30th October and strengthen employers’ obligations to protect workers from sexual harassment and harassment by third parties, including customers and clients.
Under the new rules, employers must take ‘all reasonable steps’ to prevent sexual harassment, strengthening the existing requirement to take ‘reasonable steps’.
Organisers say a recent survey of Wiltshire businesses highlighted a lack of awareness about employment legislation, with many organisations unsure how to respond to sensitive workplace issues or develop appropriate policies.
The two-hour session, running from 3pm to 5pm, will focus on practical advice rather than networking or commercial opportunities.
It will also examine domestic abuse and its impact on employees, including those working from home, and explore how businesses can identify risks and provide appropriate support.
