While PoSH protects all genders, legal gaps remain for male/non-binary victims – progressive employers extend policy protections universally.

Includes sexual jokes, displaying pornography, intrusive personal questions & gender-based ridicule that unreasonably interfere with work performance.

PoSH applies to virtual spaces: harassment via work calls/chats, inappropriate backgrounds during meetings or cyberbullying constitute violations.

If unwelcome, sexual in nature or creating intimidation – yes. Context matters; persistent messaging despite disinterest clearly violates PoSH.

Choose legally trained external members with gender expertise, no organisational ties & commitment to trauma-informed inquiry procedures.

Any employee (contract/trainee/intern) experiencing harassment – including witnesses suffering retaliation for supporting complaints.
