Even more reasonable

With employers having a matter of weeks to implement reasonable measures to prevent sexual harassment at work to comply with the requirements of the Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023, Handley Gill's consultants identify the steps employers should take to establish a sexual harassment prevention programme and associated data protection compliance measures. As Labour's Employment Rights Bill would expand the scope of the employer's duty to take all reasonable measures and to address threats posed by third parties, employers should consider voluntarily expanding the scope of their programme now.

Time to regenerate

The Information Commissioner’s fourth call for evidence in its Generative AI consultation series on ‘engineering individual rights into generative AI models’ suggests that generative AI model developers should regenerate their privacy policies to ensure that they provide individuals with sufficient information to ascertain whether they have been affected by the web scraping of their personal data.
