Speaking out about sexual harassment

UNISON has welcomed the new guidance from the  Equality and Human Rights Commission on confidentiality agreements, also known as non-disclosure agreements and more commonly referred to as ‘gagging clauses’.
Employers have a duty to provide a safe working environment for all staff.
Safe workplaces are those in which workers feel able to discuss their experiences and expose sexual harassment, and confidentiality agreements should not prevent people from speaking out.
