#MeToo showed why waiting for complaints doesn't work. The law has changed because preventing harassment isn't just better for people - it's better for productivity, retention and business performance.

Questions
Things people usually ask
If yours isn't here, bring it to a founder FAQ session.
01
Who is this for?
Employers. We are focussing on UK employers first but ask the question and we'll do our best to help.
02
What's included?
Everything in the "What's Included" section plus any industry and sector specific tools and resources based on waitlist feedback (see question 05 as well).
03
We already have a harassment policy. Do we still need this?
In a nutshell, yes. This is a preventative duty and a cultural piece of work. A policy alone is no longer enough, and the October 2026 changes will raise the bar further. A gap analysis is a good starting point for both your policy and your risk assessment, it will show you exactly what's missing and where to direct your efforts, quickly and without jargon.
04
What are the founder FAQ sessions?
Regular live sessions where waitlist members can ask the founder anything about the platform, the law, their specific sector, upcoming legislation or anything on their minds. Deliberately informal and designed to be genuinely useful, not a sales pitch. Dates are shared with waitlist members by email once you've signed up.
05
Is anonymous reporting included?
The core platform will include guidance and tools on what to record and how to handle reports as standard. A genuinely anonymous reporting platform and an independent speak-up phone line are being explored as optional add-ons because not every organisation needs them and keeping them separate helps us keep the core accessible to all.
06
How much will it cost?
We haven't finalised pricing yet. Our aim is to make this genuinely accessible, whatever size your organisation is. Founding members who join the waitlist will hear about pricing first and will have the chance to feed into what a fair price looks like. Their rate will be locked in at launch for life (continuous memberships from launch).
07
What's different about this platform?
This is planned as a complete package covering every stakeholder, every sector and every industry. Content is designed to go above and beyond compliance minimums and updated continuously as legislation evolves. It's backed by over 20 years of HR expertise across education and multi-sector settings. Our aim is to be genuinely accessible to organisations of all sizes, not just those with large L&D budgets.
08
When will it launch?
We hope to launch in Autumn 2026. If you join the waitlist, you’ll be kept informed of progress.
