Sexual Harassment Legislation Changes – What It Means for Motorsport UK and Our Sport
The UK has introduced significant changes to sexual harassment legislation, including a legal duty for employers to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. This duty came into force on 26th October 2024 as part of the Worker Protection 2023. The updated legislation aims to strengthen workplace safety and foster more inclusive environments.
While volunteers are not always covered in the same way as paid employees under employment law, clubs and organisations such as Motorsport UK are strongly encouraged to apply the same standards to everyone involved in the sport. This includes coaches, competitors, officials, parents, and volunteers.
Motorsport relies on a large and dedicated volunteer community. They not only help events run safely and effectively but also contribute significantly to maintaining a culture that is respectful, welcoming, and supportive for everyone involved in our sport.
All volunteers should treat others with dignity and respect, challenge inappropriate behaviour where appropriate, and report concerns promptly. This includes avoiding sexual jokes or comments, unwanted physical contact, inappropriate messages, or dismissing concerns as “banter”.
Creating a safer and inclusive sporting environment is a shared responsibility and remains central to effective safeguarding and participant welfare.
