Dignity at Work Toolkit Pack
Bullying, Harassment & Sexual Harassment Prevention
Everything you need to put clear, practical Dignity at Work standards in place. Not paperwork for the sake of it - setting clear expectations, supporting managers, protecting your people, reducing risk, and demonstrating you have taken reasonable steps.
The Law Has Changed. Has Your Organisation Kept Up?
From 26 October 2024, employers have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment at work. This is no longer about reacting when something goes wrong. Employers are expected to be proactive.
New Legal Duty
The Worker Protection Act 2023 introduced a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment. This includes third-party harassment from customers and clients.
More Changes Coming
The Employment Rights Act 2025 timeline expects further changes from October 2026, including a stronger requirement to take all reasonable steps, with more detail expected in 2027.
The Cost of Getting It Wrong
Employment Tribunal injury to feelings awards range from £1,200 to £60,700, with exceptional cases going higher. Add management time, legal costs, absence, and turnover on top.
Where Does Your Organisation Stand?
Green - Strong Position
Up-to-date policy, trained managers, clear reporting, evidence of reasonable steps.
Amber - Some Risk
Out-of-date policy, inconsistent handling, no clear audit trail.
Red - Immediate Action Needed
No policy, untrained managers, no reporting route, nothing documented.
Your Complete “We Have Done This Properly” Pack
Work through each section in order. Each step builds on the last, giving you a complete and defensible framework for dignity at work.
Dignity at Work Policy
A comprehensive, ready-to-use policy covering bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, third-party harassment, victimisation, reporting routes, investigation process, outcomes, and monitoring. Aligned with the October 2024 duty and future legislative changes.
Implementation Checklist
Confirm each element is genuinely in place and evidenced. Covers policy, reporting, manager training, staff training, risk assessment, and evidence. Tick each item only when it is complete, not simply planned.
Risk Assessment Template
Identify and reduce risk across your organisation. Covers customer interaction, lone working, social events, digital messaging, power imbalance, and remote working. Includes actions summary and review questions.
Action Plan
Assign owners, set deadlines, and track progress. Priority-based with clear status tracking so nothing falls through the cracks.
Manager Toolkit
Conversation scripts for when someone raises a concern. Opening phrases, clarifying questions, next steps, informal intervention, and formal escalation. Plus six common scenario guides with practical actions.
Employee Communication Templates
Ready-to-use messaging so your people understand the standards, their rights, and how to raise a concern. Make raising a concern feel safe and straightforward.
Training Requirements Guide
What good training looks like: comprehensive content, accessible delivery, mandatory record-keeping, and regular refresh cycles. Includes the business case for investment.
Evidence & Legal Position Guide
What to record, how to record it, and why it matters. Training records, concerns raised, actions taken, and the legal framework. If it is not recorded, it is very difficult to prove.
How to Use This Pack
Eight clear steps from reading the policy to ongoing recording

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Not Wait for a Complaint to Find Out You Were Not Ready
Most businesses do not get caught out because they had nothing. They get caught out because no one acted, nothing was recorded, or it was not taken seriously early enough.
