Welsh Conservatives rejected sexual harassment training

Last year the Senedd’s Equality and Social Justice Committee published a report , externalentitled “How we must all play our part: a public health approach to halting the epidemic in gender-based violence”.

One of its recommendations called for Members of the Senedd to commit to undertaking training on preventing gender-based violence (GBV) by the end of 2024.

The Senedd Commission – which runs the institution from day to day – agreed to arrange the training by an outside organisation in autumn 2024, covering in particular three areas highlighted by the committee.

These were:

  • increased awareness and understanding of what constitutes GBV;

  • improved bystander intervention skills which equip individuals with the skills to identify signs of potential GBV situations and intervene safely and effectively; and

  • cultural competence: understanding the complexities of addressing GBV within diverse cultural contexts.

The course developed by Bristol-based company Kindling Intervention on behalf of the Senedd Commission was “developed and tailored specifically to focus on noticing and intervening in sexism, gender stereotyping, gendered microaggressions, sexual harassment and other forms of gender-based violence against women and girls”.

“Due to the participants being at senior leadership level, the training will also be further developed specifically to focus on leadership, privilege and power.”
