Third-Party Harassment Check

This is where you stand. Sixteen quick questions on exposure, recognition, response and evidence — about five minutes — and an honest read on what you could show about the steps you took.

Take the assessment with our help

The interactive Third-Party Harassment Check needs JavaScript. It's a five-minute self-check on whether you could evidence the 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.

Now you have your result, what next?

  • The full Diagnostic

    The full organisational audit, scored across five dimensions of inclusion, with a documented result you can take to a board. The natural next step once a check has shown you where the gap is.

  • Readiness Check

    The broad one: where your organisation stands overall, benchmarked against 136 UK organisations. Start here if you are not sure which gap you have.

  • Toilets & Facilities Check

    Your toilets, accessible provision, signage and facilities policy — the questions that most often arrive as a live complaint.

  • Preventative Duty Check

    The employer duty to take reasonable steps BEFORE sexual harassment happens (all reasonable steps from 30 October 2026) — what you have in place, and what a tribunal would look for.

  • Support Mechanisms Check

    The structures around a trans or non-binary colleague: who supports them, who decides, and what happens when something goes wrong.

The background behind these questions — the same material the assessment points you to once it has your answers.

When customers or service users harass trans staff

"We can't control the public" has been a common answer when a customer keeps getting a trans colleague's name or pronouns wrong. From 30 October 2026 it is a risky answer to rely on. The new rule covers harassment related to any protected characteristic, not only sexual harassment — and the question moves from whether you responded to what you did to prevent it.
