SRA Sexual Misconduct Training

The Mix Difference

Building confidence from HR to partners

Sexual misconduct is a serious subject, but effective training doesn’t need to sensationalise it. Our “candid but kind” approach creates space for honest discussion, helping people understand clear expectations while exploring the nuance and power dynamics that can make real situations much more complicated.

Legal professionals are usually quick to understand what’s expected of them. The challenge comes when they need to act – particularly when seniority, client relationships or normalised behaviours make speaking up difficult. Our training bridges that gap through realistic scenarios and skills practice, helping people challenge inappropriate behaviour, respond to disclosures and escalate concerns appropriately.

We also look beyond the training itself. As both a training provider and consultancy, we can work with HR, risk, compliance and DEI teams on the wider systems that support prevention and response. That means connecting learning with your policies, reporting routes, leadership expectations and culture, rather than treating it as a standalone compliance exercise.

What You’ll Get

Real conversations for real workplaces

Our SRA sexual misconduct training moves beyond awareness, giving colleagues and leaders practical skills they can use when situations become difficult or unclear. Depending on your firm, its people and priorities, learning can include:

• A clear understanding of sexual misconduct – exploring what inappropriate behaviour can look like and where regulatory concerns may arise.
• Realistic scenarios from legal practice – examining situations involving seniority, power dynamics, client relationships, workplace banter and normalised behaviours.
• Greater confidence to speak up – helping colleagues recognise inappropriate behaviour, challenge it earlier and understand how to raise concerns.
• Practical skills for leaders – giving partners and managers opportunities to practise responding to disclosures, challenging behaviour and escalating concerns appropriately.
• Stronger understanding of leadership responsibility – exploring how actions and inaction can affect trust, wellbeing, retention and workplace culture.
• Training connected to your firm – with bespoke learning incorporating your policies, reporting routes, values, processes and working environment.
• Support beyond the training room – working with HR, risk, compliance and DEI teams to strengthen the wider systems supporting prevention and response.

The aim is to help create a culture where inappropriate behaviour is challenged earlier, people feel more confident raising concerns and leaders know how to respond. It gives firms a practical way to strengthen prevention, accountability and workplace culture while supporting the standards expected within a regulated profession.

From firm-wide learning to leadership support

Our SRA sexual misconduct training can be delivered as cascaded learning across your firm or tailored specifically for leaders, HR and People teams. Depending on your needs, we can combine workshops, eLearning and leadership development through hybrid and blended learning solutions that work across different roles, teams and locations.

Training can also form part of a wider programme covering speak-up culture, bystander intervention, inclusive leadership, psychological safety, supervision and ethical decision-making. Alongside learning, we can review Sexual Harassment and Dignity at Work policies, reporting and escalation routes, and support HR and ER teams with fair investigation principles.

We work directly with partners, senior lawyers and other influential leaders too, including through discrete executive coaching that helps them understand and model the standards expected across the firm. Get in touch to discuss the right combination of solutions for your organisation.
