Operator Handbook
Responding to Sexual Harassment & Intimidation in Gym, Fitness and Leisure Facilities: Operational Policies, Procedures and Guidance
This handbook has been developed to support gym, fitness and leisure facility operators ranging across various operational models, sizes and facility types with foundational standard policies, procedures and guidance on responding to instances of sexual harassment and intimidation.
It has been created for operators who do not currently have policies and procedures built into their organisations, but has been organised in such a way that operators with existing policies can check and challenge theirs to ensure they have the foundational level of best practice.
This has been developed alongside our valued partners CIMSPA and Women’s Aid.
