Why Gender Equality & Sexism training matters in Wales

Gender inequality still shapes pay, progression and safety at work in Wales. Employers across Great Britain now have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, and Wales's national strategy on Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence highlights the role of workplace culture. This course helps organisations tackle the everyday sexism that underpins wider inequality.

  • Supports the employer duty to prevent sexual harassment
  • Relevant to gender pay gap action
  • Builds a respectful, equal workplace culture

Who it's for

All staff, managers and HR teams. It's suitable for local authorities, NHS Wales organisations, schools, colleges, universities, housing associations, charities and private-sector employers.

How it's delivered

Sessions are interactive and discussion-based, using realistic workplace scenarios rather than lectures. We create a respectful space where people can ask questions honestly. For in-house groups, we adapt examples, length and emphasis to reflect your sector, policies and priorities.
