One bottleneck for tackling workplace sexual harassment is the lack of punishment for perpetrators. Even if they are fired due to the incidents, they can find a new job as if there has been no fault on their side.  
 
In many cases, before extending a job offer, firms will reach out to previous employers for references on the job candidate’s previous firm. Currently, firms are not required to disclose any information even if the employee has harassed others sexually at work. 
 
We urge the UK government to require firms to disclose sexual harassment incidents when providing references to perpetrators they fired. 
 
This will prevent people from committing sexual harassment at work, knowing that it will be more difficult to find jobs if they are fired.
