iReport launched this week. It is an innovative 24/7 Incident Reporting and Investigation Service, designed to help employers comply with incoming legislation.
The Worker Protection Act soon comes into effect, with a compliance deadline of 26 October 2024. It is a long-awaited and significant amendment to the Equality Act 2010. All employers, regardless of size, will have a legal duty to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying, and violent conduct towards their employees, putting pressure on budgets and workforces.
According to a recent poll, almost a third (29%) of employers and HR professionals are unprepared for this new duty.
This new legislation affects all employers, from the private, public, education and voluntary sectors. Those most interested to know about this service will be Business Owners and Founders, CEOs and Directors, Managers and Team Leaders and all those working in Human Resources.
iReport is unique in that it enables businesses to easily meet the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) requirements, by reporting sexual harassment and discrimination using innovative technology from Talk to Spot and for employers to have the right in person support to investigate complaints using highly qualified investigators and specialists from ourHRpeople. Our HR People will also be supporting subscribing businesses with associated services such as mediation, training and development, and HR advice.
iReport’s partnership with Spot and ourHRpeople offers a uniquely competitive pricing structure designed to benefit SMEs, with monthly fees from £30. Those that sign up before the compliance deadline receive three months’ free use of Talk to Spot.

This results in a thorough and fair outcome for all involved. We have created the perfect solution.”

Talk to Spot’s innovative technology enables simple, confidential reporting, which iReport logs and triages before alerting the client. ourHRpeople is on hand to investigate, with a same day response, if the client does not have the internal expertise and employment law knowledge.
Working with Talk to Spot, Dr Julia Shaw’s psychological expertise has helped to create an AI bot with prompts designed to assist employees to remember – cognative enquiry – and record the incident, to improve the accuracy of the report and to make the investigation faster and more cost effective.
