Unlock the key to maintaining a respectful and safe dental workplace.
Sexual harassment is a pressing issue in all professional fields, including dentistry. This expert-level course equips dental professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to address and prevent instances of sexual harassment in their workplace.
Sexual harassment encompasses a range of behaviours perceived as unwelcome or inappropriate by the recipient, regardless of the intent of the person exhibiting the behaviour.
It can include unwanted advances, comments, jokes, or gestures that create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
UK dental practices are legally required to implement proactive measures to prevent sexual harassment.
By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to recognise and address sexual harassment, emphasising the importance of perception over intention in identifying these behaviours. Our goal is to enable you to contribute to and maintain a safe, respectful, and inclusive working environment in the dental field.
