Sexual harassment at work

6 November 2025 | Legal Support and Advice for Employees |

Sexual harassment remains a serious problem in many workplaces and it is your right to challenge this behaviour if it affects you. Sexual harassment includes any behaviour of a sexual nature that violates your dignity, creates a hostile or offensive environment or leaves you feeling intimidated, degraded or humiliated.

Sexual harassment is classed as unlawful discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 and you can take the matter for an Employment Tribunal if your employer refuses to address the issue. Our employment law solicitors can advise you on your options and act for you to find a solution, either by negotiation with your employer or via legal action if necessary.
