Sexual Safety in General Practice

About this Lunch & Learn

As a practice, you have a responsibility to take proactive action to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace.

This Lunch & Learn training resource can be used at a time and place to suit the practice, either for all staff, or a group of newly employed staff. It is also ideal for using as part of the induction process.

It gives an overview of sexual safety in general practice, and how all who visit or work at the practice need to be protected from sexual harassment. The resource covers:

• Legal requirements & why this law is important
• Employer’s responsibility
• Line-Manager’s responsibility
• Employees’ responsibility
• Definitions of Harassment
• Behaviours that are not acceptable
• Examples of Patient Charters
• Other forms of harassment
• Summary of what needs to be done
