As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly create a sexual harassment policy for your UK workplace.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current sexual-harassment and workplace guidance on GOV.UK, and save the pages or text you intend the draft to use.
   2. Gather your existing dignity at work, grievance, disciplinary, whistleblowing and safeguarding policies, plus your reporting contacts, support arrangements and approval route.
   3. Paste the prompt and replace each bracketed slot with your workplace information, then paste the GOV.UK source text or links in the final section.
   4. Ask the chatbot to produce the draft, the source-checking table, missing-input list and implementation checklist in the same response.
   5. Compare every legal or factual statement in the source-checking table with the current GOV.UK material and your existing policies, correcting the draft where they conflict.
   6. Send the draft and the unresolved questions to an employment solicitor or qualified HR adviser for a legal and operational review before approval.
   7. Obtain the organisation's approval, publish the final policy through the normal staff channels, and arrange the stated reporting routes and training.

   Prompt

   Create a draft sexual harassment policy for a UK workplace using the information below and the current GOV.UK guidance I paste after it. Treat the policy as a draft for review, not as legal advice. Use plain British English and do not invent legal duties, reporting routes, sanctions, contacts, statistics or facts. Where the information is missing, write [TO CONFIRM] and list the decision needed.
   
   Workplace details:
   - Organisation: [NAME]
   - Sector and locations: [SECTOR AND UK LOCATIONS]
   - Approximate workforce and working arrangements: [DETAILS]
   - Workers covered, including contractors, agency workers, clients and visitors: [DETAILS]
   - Existing dignity at work, grievance, disciplinary and whistleblowing policies: [NAMES OR LINKS]
   - Named reporting contacts and alternative routes: [CONTACTS]
   - Support available, such as an employee assistance service or occupational health: [DETAILS]
   - Investigation process and who may investigate: [DETAILS]
   - Training arrangements: [DETAILS]
   - Policy owner, approval route and review date: [DETAILS]
   
   Write these sections:
   1. Purpose and commitment
   2. Who and what the policy covers
   3. What sexual harassment means in this workplace, distinguishing it from other unacceptable conduct without narrowing the legal definition
   4. Clear examples, including conduct in person, online, at work events and involving third parties
   5. How to report a concern, including alternatives where the usual contact is involved
   6. What happens after a report, including confidentiality limits, support, risk assessment, investigation, record keeping and protection from victimisation
   7. Informal and formal options, clearly separated from the organisation's detailed grievance and disciplinary procedures
   8. Responsibilities of managers, workers and the organisation
   9. Prevention, training, monitoring and policy review
   10. Related policies and contacts
   
   After the draft, provide:
   - A table of every factual or legal statement that needs checking, with the source or decision needed.
   - A list of missing workplace inputs.
   - A short implementation checklist covering consultation, approval, communication, training and record keeping.
   - Five questions an employment solicitor or qualified HR adviser should answer before publication.
   
   Use only the pasted sources for legal claims. If they do not establish a point, say so rather than filling the gap.
