After section 124 of the Equality Act 2010 insert— Remedies: compensation uplift in sexual harassment cases 124A (1) This section applies where— (a) an employment tribunal has found that there has been a contravention of section 40 (harassment of employees) which involved, to any extent, harassment of the kind described in section 26(2) (sexual harassment), and (b) the tribunal has ordered the respondent to pay compensation to the complainant under section 124(2)(b). (2) The tribunal must consider whether and to what extent the respondent has also contravened section 40A(1) (duty to take reasonable steps to prevent harassment of employees). (3) If the tribunal is satisfied that the respondent has contravened section 40A(1), it may order the respondent to pay an amount to the complainant (a “compensation uplift”) in addition to the compensation amount determined in accordance with section 124(6). (4) The amount of the compensation uplift— (a) must reflect the extent to which, in the tribunal’s opinion, the respondent has contravened section 40A(1), but (b) may be no more than 25% of the amount awarded under section 124(2)(b).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
