Recent (and upcoming) legislative changes and increasing regulatory scrutiny have significantly raised expectations on organisations, HR and Compliance teams, as well as senior management populations, to prevent workplace sexual harassment, address third‑party risks, and develop a culture where concerns can be raised, issues identified and prompt action taken.
Emma O’Connor, Head of Client Training, is joined by Employment Partner, Kate Kapp, and Regulatory Partner, Benedicte Perowne, as they explore what this new era of accountability means in practice, with a particular focus on regulated environments. They consider current legal preventative duties and how these will change in October 2026, individual accountability and management responsibilities, the regulatory horizon and practical steps to strengthen culture, controls and responses.
Who should watch?
HR and People and Culture Leaders at all levels, particularly those who work in regulated industries (financial, banking, legal) as well as compliance, risk, inhouse counsel or those responsible for whistleblowing regimes, including whistleblowing champions.
