Sexual harassment at work is not just an HR issue. It is a workplace safety issue.
The HSE is consulting on RIDDOR, and this is a chance to say sexual harassment must be recognised, reported and prevented.

ALT As Co-Chair of the BFAWU Parliamentary Group, I am proud to support the call for sexual harassment at work to be treated as the workplace safety issue it is.
Too often, sexual harassment is treated only as an internal HR matter. That leaves workers without the protection they need, weakens reporting, and means the scale of the problem is not properly captured.
The Health and Safety Executive is currently consulting on changes to RIDDOR, the regulations covering how work-related injuries, ill health and dangerous occurrences are reported.
This consultation is an important opportunity for trade unions, organisations, branches and individuals to say clearly: sexual harassment must be recognised, reported and prevented as a workplace health and safety issue.
The consultation closes on 30 June 2026.
β οΈ Trigger warning: sexual harassment.
Almost 10 million workers are sexually harassed at work every year. The law is failing workers, reporting still isn't safe, and the burden shouldn't fall on those who've already been harmed.
In 1992, Women Against Sexual Harassment helped over 400 women in a single year β with thousands more calling their phone line. Decades on, the fight is the same. π§΅

Thanks to Janet, our brilliant trustee, and to Chorley Trades Council for inviting End Not Defend to talk about stopping the millions of cases of workplace sexual harassment that happen every year - destroyed livelihoods and health.
"I have lost a job I loved, a job that I was good at, where I made a difference, through no fault of my own."
For victims of workplace sexual harassment, speaking up costs everything.
Help us make the system work for survivors, not against them. #EndNotDefend
