Are you ready for the changes to sexual harassment responsibilities?
On 6 April 2026, sexual harassment is added to the list of categories of whistleblowing concern which workers can raise and get protection for. And from October 2026 employers will have to show they take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment.
As the UK's whistleblowing expert, Protect helps you put in place the internal systems including effective reporting channels, adequate training, and up-to-date policies that help you prevent, detect and mitigate the risks.

Three ways we can help.
Spot gaps in your whistleblowing framework.
You can’t fix what you can’t see. Our independent assessment tools highlight weaknesses in your whistleblowing framework — from missing reviews of board-level accountability to blind spots in oversight of culture. By addressing gaps, you can ensure you have a strong speak up culture and stop harm at an early opportunity.

Get expert guidance.
Our consultants work directly with boards and senior leaders to design frameworks that meet best practice: clear channels for reporting, strong processes for investigating properly, and structured feedback to whistleblowers. We help you build a culture overseen at the top, where learnings from every case strengthen your organisation’s defences.

Empower your team to address and report wrongdoing.
A culture of silence is your biggest risk. Protect equips staff and managers through training that addresses victimisation risks, shows managers how to respond, and empowers employees to raise concerns confidently. With the right training and risk assessments in place, your organisation can act on issues early and continuously improve its whistleblowing arrangements.
