Preventative Duty Check

Test whether you could evidence your reasonable steps

Twenty questions on prevention, training, reporting, response and evidence, and an honest read on whether you could produce that record if someone asked for it.

The duty asks what was in place before anything happened.

Balanced scales among documents bearing ticks, a shield, a magnifying glass, a calendar and a folder, connected by fine lines — a record assembled before it is needed.

What you could show, not what you intended

The duty is anticipatory — it asks what was in place before anything happened. This check tests whether those steps exist, whether they are current, and whether you could produce them if you were asked.

Take the assessment with our help

The interactive Preventative Duty Self-Assessment needs JavaScript. It's a five-minute self-check on whether you could evidence the reasonable steps you've taken to prevent sexual harassment at work — a duty employers have had since October 2024. If it hasn't loaded, you can talk to us directly instead.
