Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment - On Demand Training

Our Duty to Prevent Sexual Harassment training is here to help you create a safe, respectful, and legally compliant environment for your School or Academy. Tailored for every level of staff, this training is essential for fostering a culture of respect and understanding; to support compliance with the new legal duty. 

Our training has been split into three modules:

  • Module 1: All staff (including volunteers) 
  • Module 2: SLT/Managers 
  • Module 3: Governors and Trustees (including Headteacher and Staff governors)

All staff (including volunteers) should undertake Module 1. SLT/Managers should undertake modules 1 and 2. Governors and Trustees (including Headteachers and Staff Governors) should undertake modules 1, 2 and 3. 

Course credits

Schools/Academies will need to purchase Course Credits and will then choose which modules to use these on. Schools/Academies will request staff to register for the appropriate module and a personalised link will be provided directly to their email address to enable access to that module. The email address must be the individual’s School email address. Please contact us regarding arrangements for volunteers who may not have a School email address. Once staff have completed a module, a certificate of completion will be sent to the staff member, which they should share with the School to assist with recording, reporting and monitoring requirements.
