Greg Clark MP and Lord Wolfson of Tredegar KC), which makes public sexual harassment a specific offence.</p><p>As with any new criminal justice legislation, an implementation period is necessary to ensure all processes, systems and guidance are updated – including drawing up the statutory guidance.
