Recommendation 30
30
Acknowledged
Paragraph: 162
Clarify enforcement collaboration between EHRC and FCA on Worker Protection Act
Recommendation
Given the potential overlap between the aims of the Worker Protection Act, which will be enforced by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and the proposals by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on handling sexual misconduct in financial services, we recommend that the EHRC and the FCA clarify how they will work together to enforce the Worker Protection Act.
Government Response Summary
The government states it has a Memorandum of Understanding with the EHRC and will continue to work together and share information to address common interests, but does not outline a specific plan for clarifying enforcement of the Worker Protection Act.

HM Government
Acknowledged
The EHRC is responsible for enforcement of the new duty on employers, but we recognise that there will be considerable areas of common interest and we have already been in contact to discuss this. We have a Memorandum of Understanding with the EHRC and we will continue to work together with them using this to share information.
