Today marks the anniversary of Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance. Had proper risk assessments been in place, the tragedy might have been avoided. Forty years on, protections for workers are still not fit for purpose. If you've been sexually harassed at work, sign the petition below.

Thank you to every campaigner & activist who joined us last week in the heat to demand workplace sexual harassment is recognised as a reportable injury - the only way we'll prevent the #1 cause of workplace harm in the UK #EndNotDefend #WorkerRights

Please put this in your diary for 11am this FRIDAY JUNE 26th Liverpool Join us at the offices of the HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE MERTON ROAD BOOTLE . L20 7HS I fought sexual harassment against my staff in Lady at Lord John fashion store in the 80’s. I was sacked. Even then when we didn’t even have a word for it , the movement recognised that workers shouldn’t have to tolerate this threat to their health and wellbeing . Activists and my union fought for me to get my job back and have sexual harassment recognised. It is as bad, if not worse today, than it was then. It must become a reportable incident as is every other threat to worker’s health. Sexual harassment in the workplace can no longer be tolerated. It can happen to anyone . It’s insidious it , it’s an attack on our class. It’s a health and safety issue. It’s only by joining forces that we can put an end to it. Please join us and share this - workers and trade unionists to protest outside Health and Safety Executive over failure to recognise workplace sexual harassment as a reportable safety incident Workers, trade unionists and campaigners will gather outside the Health and Safety Executive’s Liverpool offices on Friday 26 June to demand that workplace sexual harassment is recognised as a reportable incident under RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations). The protest, organised by the End Not Defend campaign, comes as evidence continues to show that millions of workers experience sexual harassment at work each year, yet incidents remain largely invisible within the workplace health and safety system because they are not reported. While employers are required to report serious physical injuries and dangerous workplace incidents, there is no equivalent requirement to report sexual harassment, despite the significant impact it can have on workers’ mental and physical health. Ian Hodson, National President of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU), said “Workers can suffer trauma, anxiety, depression, loss of confidence and be driven out of work altogether because of sexual harassment. Yet the system largely treats these experiences as invisible. A broken arm at work is reportable. A dangerous occurrence is reportable. Sexual harassment that damages a worker’s health and wellbeing is not. That cannot be right. If sexual harassment is a workplace hazard – and it is – then employers should be required to report it. What gets measured gets managed. If it’s not reported, it’s not regulated.” The End Not Defend campaign is calling for - * Sexual harassment to be recognised as a workplace health and safety issue. * Sexual harassment incidents to be reportable under RIDDOR. * Greater transparency and accountability from employers. * Stronger prevention measures to stop harassment before it happens. DETAILS See you at 11 am Friday 26 June 2026 Location: Health and Safety Executive, Redgrave Court, Merton Road, Bootle, Liverpool, L20 7HS

Sexual harassment at work is not just an HR issue. It is a workplace safety issue. The HSE is consulting on RIDDOR, and this is a chance to say sexual harassment must be recognised, reported and prevented. 1/2 #EndNotDefend
