NHS workers in England can now report their colleagues for sexual harassment anonymously, as health bosses warned inappropriate behaviour "will not be tolerated".
The new policy covers all sexual misconduct at work, whether in an NHS setting, a virtual environment or elsewhere.
NHS domestic abuse and sexual violence program director Catherine Hinwood says she hopes these new measures “gives people confidence” that they’re taking these “awful behaviours” seriously.
Sky correspondent Rachel Venables talks to some women in the NHS who have dealt with the misconduct.
