Sexual Harassment Risk Management

Prevent sexual harassment by understanding where the risk sits in your workplace — and putting practical controls in place before something happens.

We help you turn the positive duty into something your leaders understand, your people can trust and your organisation can demonstrate.

Prevention is the duty, not a response plan

The conversation around workplace sexual harassment has changed. Having a policy and responding properly when someone makes a complaint are important — but prevention starts much earlier.

The positive duty asks organisations to take reasonable and proportionate steps to prevent unlawful behaviours from occurring in the first place.

For us, that means looking at the workplace, the work and the conditions around it.

Where are people working alone? Where are there significant power differences? What happens on night shift? How are customers or clients interacting with workers? Where does alcohol enter the picture? Do people genuinely know how to raise a concern — and do they trust what will happen if they do?

That’s where useful prevention starts.

We work with your people to understand where the exposure actually sits, then help you put practical controls, reporting pathways and response processes around it.

Not another policy nobody reads. A prevention approach people can actually use.

What's included

Risk assessment
Understand where exposure may arise across roles, locations, shifts, work arrangements and interactions.
Prevention plan
Turn identified risks into practical, proportionate actions with clear responsibilities and review dates.
Behavioural standards
Clear expectations about workplace behaviour — written so people understand them, not simply acknowledge them.
Worker consultation
Create safe, practical opportunities for people to tell you what the policy and incident data may not.
Reporting pathways
Provide more than one safe and practical way to raise a concern, including options outside the immediate reporting line.
Response procedure
A clear and consistent process so leaders know what to do when a concern is raised and people understand what happens next.
Leader capability
Give managers the confidence to recognise issues, respond appropriately, escalate when necessary and keep the right records.
Your people know things about the workplace that the documents don't.

How the engagement runs

1
Understand the workplace

We look at your people, roles, sites, shifts, work arrangements and existing controls to understand where exposure may arise.

2
Listen and assess

We involve the right people, test what's happening in practice and identify where stronger controls are needed.

3
Put prevention into practice

Together we build the prevention plan, reporting pathways, behavioural expectations and response processes your organisation actually needs.

4
Build confidence and keep learning

Leaders understand their responsibilities, workers know their options and review mechanisms help you see whether the controls are working.
