Belonging, Boundaries & Behaviour
A session for the festive season and the first festive period under the new harassment duties.
The law expects more from your workplace.
In accordance with the recent amendments made to the Equality Act to help prevent workplace harassment, as of 30 October 2026, employers must take all reasonable steps to prevent the sexual harassment of their employees.
Belonging, Boundaries and Behaviour is your toolkit to implement that change.
“Cultural shifts not crisis management. I would highly recommend.”
Claire Richardson, HR Manager, Ramsdens Solicitors
Why this year?
From 30 October 2026, employers must take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment at work, including harassment of their people by third parties such as clients. Training is one of the clearest steps an organisation can take, and show.
The festive season is when that risk rises most: alcohol, late nights and client events blur the lines. It is also when many people feel left out. One in six UK adults don’t drink at all, and many more are cutting down, in recovery, or managing something nobody at work knows about. This session teaches you how to strike the right balance so that everyone is included.
What the session provides
Plan and host events where everyone can take part on their own terms, whether they drink or not:
-
Skilfully set and hold boundaries, including those with clients
-
Respond well in the moment, including when a colleague says mid-party that they’re struggling
-
Recognise the early signs that someone may be experiencing difficulty, and know how to check in
-
Signpost to the right support without needing to be a clinician
-
Understand what belonging, boundaries and appropriate behaviour look like at a real event: before, during and after
