Train the Trainer Program (TTTP)

Train the Trainer Program (TtTP) – Face-to-Face – Stop Sexual Misconduct Within the Workplace.

We can proudly state as the UK’s only specialist consultancy dedicated exclusively to addressing sexual misconduct, harassment, and sexual assault in the workplace. Our unparalleled expertise has earned us recognition as a leading authority on these complex issues, trusted by policymakers, businesses, and public bodies alike.

Our Train the Trainer Program is exclusively designed for those responsible for facilitating training in large workforces of 250 employees and above, ensuring cost-effectiveness.

Statutory minimum requirements: As per the new technical guidance issued by the EHRC – section 3.28. To comply with the preventative duty, employers must take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of their workers in the course of employment. 3.29. What is reasonable will vary from employer to employer and will depend on factors such as (but not limited to) the employer’s size, the sector it operates in, the working environment and its resources. There are no particular criteria or minimum standards an employer must meet. Different employers may prevent sexual harassment in different ways, but no employer is exempt from the sexual harassment preventative duty.

The duty is clear: All employees should be trained in Basic preventive duties, managers (leaders) should be trained in how to receive a report (Enhanced).

Extended Support: Trainers will receive ongoing support for 12 months post-training. During this period, each trainer will have access to 12 support tickets, with one ticket allocated per issue. This support is invaluable for addressing new or challenging situations, particularly during difficult investigations or when faced with unfamiliar questions.

Solo Trainers: Solo trainers are expected to be fully capable of delivering courses independently upon completion of the TtTP. However, if a potentially hostile environment is anticipated, a second trainer (or appropriate person) should be present to ensure safety.

If your organisation opts to purchase only the TtTP basic and enhanced program, a fee of £3.75 (+VAT) per CPD certificate will be applied to each workforce participate taught by your newly qualified trainer, covering printing and postage costs. If all five courses are selected the certification charge is reduced to £2.75 (+VAT) per CPD certificate.

Refresher Courses: We recommend that trainers undertake a TtTP refresher course at least once a year. Staying updated on new case law, particularly those tested in Employment Tribunals, as it is crucial for maintaining compliance. The refresher course is a full-day session, priced at £449.00 (+VAT), plus any additional travel and overnight stay charges where applicable.
