This reform creates new criminal offences and strengthens protections against sexual harassment and abuse, led by the Home Office. It covers public sexual harassment, non-contact sexual offences, voyeurism, and sexual abuse by sports coaches, with particular focus on workplace harassment and third-party harassment. Recent bills include the Protection from Sex-based Harassment in Public Act 2023, Sexual Offences (Sports Coaches) Bill, and Voyeurism (Offences) Bill.
These Regulations bring into force the provisions of the Protection from Sex-based Harassment in Public Act 2023 (c. 47) (“the 2023 Act”).
