Speaking Up Safely: A Trauma-Informed Guide to Reporting Sexual Harassment at Work This professional resource has been developed by the BeyondTrauma Advisory Network (BTAN) to support individuals who have experienced sexual harassment or assault in the workplace. Reporting such experiences can be one of the hardest and most isolating steps you’ll ever take — particularly when systems are defensive, dismissive, or slow to act. Speaking Up Safely offers practical, trauma-informed guidance to help you protect yourself, document clearly, and make your voice heard safely. The guide includes journaling templates, rights checklists, and step-by-step advice for escalating complaints when your workplace fails to respond appropriately. It centres on your safety, autonomy, and emotional wellbeing, recognising that courage in the face of silence is an act of reclaiming dignity. You’re not overreacting — you’re standing up for your right to safety, respect, and justice at work. 👥 Audience of RelevanceThis resource is intended for: Employees and professionals experiencing workplace harassment or abuse HR and management teams Union and staff representatives Workplace advocates and legal advisors Support workers assisting survivors of workplace trauma ⚠️ BTAN Disclaimer:The resources shared within the BeyondTrauma Advisory Network (BTAN) are for professional reflection, knowledge-building, and capacity development.
