DEVELOPING: McDonald's UK to Mandate Sexual Abuse Training for Managers Amid Growing Concerns.

McDonald's UK to Mandate Sexual Abuse Training for Managers Amid Growing Concerns McDonald's UK has agreed to introduce new sexual harassment training for managers in response to growing concerns about staff abuse. The move comes after the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) intervened, citing serious allegations raised against the company. The training will focus on the grooming of young workers and the use of social media, with an external body reviewing McDonald's handling of sexual harassment claims. This new measure is an extension of a plan agreed in 2023 to protect staff from sexual harassment. McDonald's has welcomed the strengthened measures, stating they will build on the progress made so far. However, a former worker has expressed skepticism about the announcement. The BBC investigation two years ago highlighted allegations of workers, some as young as 17, being groped and harassed. Earlier this year, staff reported ongoing instances of sexual abuse and harassment. The new training and review are expected to be implemented in the coming months. McDonald's has committed to working closely with the EHRC to ensure the measures are effective. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
