Online workplace compliance courses

Start with the tasks people perform, the risks they face and the duties that apply to your business. Data protection, equality and harassment prevention may be relevant, while specialist roles need additional instruction. There is no single course bundle that proves every workplace is compliant. Match the course outlines to your training plan and support them with your own policies and supervision.

While the UK GDPR does not explicitly require every employee to complete a formal course, Article 39 requires Data Protection Officers to monitor staff awareness and training. The ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) strongly recommends that all staff who handle personal data receive appropriate training. In practice, most employers provide GDPR training to all employees as part of their compliance programme to reduce the risk of data breaches and fines.

Our harassment prevention courses cover the legal definitions of harassment and bullying under the Equality Act 2010, recognising different forms of harassment (including sexual harassment, verbal abuse, and online harassment), reporting procedures, bystander intervention, employer responsibilities, and building a respectful workplace culture. Following the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, employers are now required to take proactive steps to prevent sexual harassment.

Check the certificate and accreditation information on each course page against your employer or professional body requirements. Active Bystander has a course completion certificate; course-specific CPD accreditation has not been confirmed. A template listing does not establish certificated training.
