Safeguarding at Work: Are you Ready?
From the 26th October 2024, the Worker Protection Act 2023 introduced a new legal duty for all employers: take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. This shift calls for stronger safeguarding measures industry-wide.

Leave us a message and we'll get back to you.
