As a former owner of an English language school, I saw first-hand the unique challenges of protecting staff in varied environments. Now at Lead5050, we offer tailored sexual harassment training to help institutions meet these new standards. Establishing clear reporting, conducting risk assessments, and providing specialised training aren’t just compliance measures—they’re vital to creating safer, more inclusive workplaces globally.

Should we celebrate International Men’s Day?

70 years in the same job, with dignity and grace - could you have done the same?

Are we really still stigmatising men who simply want to look after their own children? We need to have a word with ourselves.

Serena Williams has announced her retirement from tennis and has been refreshingly honest about how unfair it is and how much she resents the sacrifice she has to make as a mother.

And in 1921 women in the UK were BANNED from playing football at the FA's football pitches for 50 years. Women’s games were regularly attracting 50,000 fans. Pulling too much focus. Maybe now is the time to ban it again, eh lads?
