Police to assess train companies on their response to sexual harassment

21 Mayıs 2026BBC News

The government has announced a new initiative to score train operators on their efforts to tackle sexual harassment. However, there will be no financial or legal penalties for those who do not meet the established targets.
This move aims to enhance safety and accountability within the rail industry. The lack of penalties raises questions about the effectiveness of the initiative in driving real change.
Sexual harassment on public transport has been a growing concern, prompting the government to take action. By implementing a scoring system, the government aims to hold train operators accountable for their policies and practices regarding passenger safety.
While the initiative to score train firms on their handling of sexual harassment is a step in the right direction, the absence of penalties may dilute its impact. Without the threat of financial or legal repercussions, operators may lack the necessary motivation to prioritize this issue.
