 Hi Phillip, 

Most employers have spent the last 18 months focusing on their obligations around sexual harassment prevention.

However, from October 2026, employment law is taking things a step further.

New third-party harassment protections will make employers liable where an employee is harassed by a customer, client, contractor, visitor, member of the public, or another third party during the course of their work, and the employer has failed to take all reasonable steps to prevent it.

The changes extend beyond sexual harassment and cover harassment linked to protected characteristics including race, religion, disability, age and sexual orientation.

For many organisations, this creates a significant new area of risk.

The challenge is that Employment Tribunals won't simply look at what action was taken after an incident. They will consider whether more could have been done to identify and prevent the risk beforehand.
