Recommendation 6

The Government should urgently bring forward legislative proposals to prohibit the use of non-disclosure and other forms of confidentiality agreements in cases involving (a) sexual abuse, sexual harassment or sexual misconduct; (b) bullying or harassment not falling within (a), and (c) discrimination relating to a protected characteristic. Doing so would demonstrate decisive leadership by the Government that the silencing of victims of abuse will no longer be tolerated.
