This code was prepared by the Equality Authority with the approval of the Minister for Justice and Equality and after consultation with relevant organizations representing equality interests.  The code does not impose any legal obligations, nor is it an authoritative statement of the law.  It aims to give practical guidance to employers, employers’ organizations, trade unions, and employees on what is meant by sexual harassment and harassment in the workplace, how it may be prevented, and what steps to take if it does occur to ensure that adequate procedures are readily available
