Sexual harassment:
​​I am pleased to inform you of the launch of the Labour Party's new procedure for dealing with complaints of sexual harassment. 

The Labour Party strives to provide a safe space for people to engage in campaigning and other political activity and maintains a zero tolerance approach to sexual harassment. 

As part of this commitment we are constantly seeking to improve our procedures and practices to ensure they are credible and robust. 

Following a thorough review, involving a range of internal and external stakeholders, the NEC has agreed 
​a new Sexual Harassment Policy. 
Jenny Formby, General Secretary Labour Party
