- YOUR LEGAL OBLIGATION

 

The law has changed.
Your exposure is real.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 raises the compliance bar significantly for every employer. If your legal obligations to protect your staff cannot be demonstrated, a single incident is enough to trigger liability - your  insurance may not cover tribunal uplifts or EHRC enforcement action.

 

The Sentry gives you a documented, auditable record that steps were taken - protecting your staff, and your business.

- YOUR COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS

Proactive duty to prevent harassment

From October 2026, employers must show  'all reasonable steps'  were taken. Failure to demonstrate this invites a discretionary 25% uplift on any tribunal award.

Third - party liability

From October 2026, employers are directly liable for harssment of their staff by clients, customers and contratcors - covering all protected characteristics.  For property firms, this risk exists daily.

Confidential staff reporting

EHRC guidance identifies accessible reporting channels as a key step in demonstrating compliance. Sexual harassment disclosures are now protected as whistleblowing - making how you handle reports legally significant.

The Sentry addresses all three

The Sentry is built specifically to help employers meet these obligations - providing the tools, the records and the reporting infrastructure your business needs.

- WHAT IS THE SENTRY?

A staff safety platform - a mobile app for your team and a management portal for your business.  It extends harassment prevention tools to staff in the field, supports them in day-to-day working environments.

 

The Sentry gives employers the demonstrable records needed to protect their business if an incident occurs with a compliance supporting document pack.
