Join our Health & Social Care team for their upcoming webinar on the new legal obligations relating to third-party harassment.

The Employment Rights Bill represents the most significant overhaul of employment law in over 50 years and will substantially rebalance the employment relationship, with important implications for compliance with CQC requirements.

This webinar will focus on the new third-party harassment liability provisions coming into force in October 2026 and will cover:

  • What is the new duty to prevent third-party harassment?
  • Which protected characteristics are covered by the new duty?
  • How can organisations defend a third-party harassment claim?
  • What are the risks for your organisation?
  • How can you manage conflicts between employment and regulatory obligations when staff are harassed by someone you support?
