KNOW harassment | NO harassment ®
Raising awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace
Players work together to improve the culture of their organisation by deciding whether, and how best, to intervene in unwanted behaviour they observe or are made aware of.
This interactive game allows participants to build knowledge and awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace and provides the opportunity for participants to learn about the range of actions they can take to stop unwanted behaviour.
Sexual harassment legislation
October 2024
The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act) 2023 came into force in the UK on 26 October 2024. The Act creates a new proactive, preventative duty on employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment of their employees. This shift from a reactive to preventative approach requires employers to assess and mitigate risks of sexual harassment, update policies, provide training, and foster a culture where workers feel safe to speak up.
The board game takes participants on a bespoke journey around their workplace, using a collection of ‘real’ scenarios, adapted from research literature and tribunal case reports, to generate in-depth group discussion that explores diverse experiences.
Each participant takes on the role of a bystander, ensuring that no one is considered a perpetrator and mitigating against a blame culture. All players are empowered to take action and make collective decisions about the most appropriate intervention to take.

The game was engaging and highlighted the differences in experiences between the younger staff and those with more experience. It really opened up the discussion and challenged us to think about how and if we would intervene using the 5Ds.

Very informative with scenarios that reflected things I have encountered in past roles indirectly. It was interesting to see how others perceive different scenarios. This is a good way to get you to think about how/if you can intervene.

I feel empowered to speak up if something happens to me directly or if I witness something inappropriate happening and I now know how to report this. The 5Ds that we discovered during the game has given me options that I hadn't considered before.

Delivery methods
Halsden delivery day
The day is facilitated on your premises by Halsden’s high calibre facilitators who have worked as educators and trainers for decades.
Delegates will get a sound grasp of sexual harassment in the workplace and the actions that bystanders can take to stop unwanted behaviour. Teams will make strategic decisions around appropriate interventions and the impact such actions have on the wider organisational culture.
Despite the serious subject matter, our sessions are fun, informative, interactive and insightful.
Annual licence option
Want to run training in house?
Halsden also offers the game on an Annual Licence to organisations, supported with a one day ‘train-the-trainer’ programme to enable your facilitator team to run the game.
Depending on the licence you choose, we deliver you either 3 or 6 complete game kits with all the resources required for you to run your training and provide continued support throughout the duration of your license.
Your team can run the training as many times as you wish throughout the licenced period.
