New training on understanding sexual misconduct in the workplace is now available

A new e-learning module on recognising and responding to sexual misconduct in the workplace is now available for the NHS workforce. Developed by NHS England e-Learning for Healthcare, this programme features sessions on critical topics to support all staff in handling disclosures of sexual misconduct at work.

By the end of the programme, learners will be able to:

• Identify and recognise the types of sexual misconduct in the workplace.
• Understand the impacts that trauma can have and how this can affect people who have experienced sexual misconduct.
• Have trauma-informed conversations and know how to support someone if they tell you that they have experienced sexual misconduct.

You can access the e-Learning module here.

If you have experienced sexual misconduct at work, you can find support and report the incident if you choose to here.  It is important to remember to call 999 in an emergency.
