What is PoSH 360 Certification?

PoSH 360 is a capability-building certification for Internal Committee members under India’s workplace sexual-harassment framework. It connects the IC’s preventive, governance and complaint-response responsibilities so members can understand their role before, during and after a complaint. The programme addresses role clarity, confidentiality, conflict management, documentation, procedural fairness, inquiry readiness and organisation-level prevention. It does not appoint a person to an Internal Committee or independently authorise anyone to conduct an inquiry.

Build connected Internal Committee capability

An effective Internal Committee needs more than a basic explanation of the law. Members must understand how governance choices, workplace communication, early complaint response and procedural decisions affect trust and fairness. PoSH 360 develops this connected view through practical examples, structured discussion and decision-focused learning.

Prevention, governance and role clarity

Understand IC composition, member responsibilities, tenure, meetings, confidentiality and organisational prevention duties. Learn where HR, management and the IC have connected—but distinct—responsibilities.

Complaint response and inquiry readiness

Build confidence in receiving concerns, protecting confidentiality, identifying conflicts, maintaining records and preparing for a fair process. Understand when deeper investigator capability is required.

What does the PoSH 360 curriculum cover?

The curriculum follows the connected responsibilities of an Internal Committee—from constitution and prevention to complaint response, inquiry readiness, decisions and reporting. Modules focus on practical capability while keeping the boundaries between governance, HR support and authorised inquiry work clear.

PoSH framework and IC constitution

Understand the statutory framework, appropriate IC composition, roles of the Presiding Officer, employee members and external member, tenure, independence and common governance gaps.

Prevention and workplace communication

Connect awareness, policy communication, manager readiness and safe reporting channels with the IC’s preventive mandate. Recognise how poor communication can weaken confidence in the process.

Complaint receipt and fair process

Learn how to receive a concern respectfully, identify immediate process questions, preserve confidentiality, manage conflicts and understand the principles of natural justice without making premature conclusions.

Documentation, decisions and reporting

Strengthen record discipline across notices, meeting notes, communication, evidence logs, findings, recommendations and annual reporting. Understand what makes documentation clear, consistent and defensible.

Who should choose PoSH 360?

PoSH 360 is suited to newly appointed and experienced Internal Committee members, Presiding Officers, external members and HR, legal or compliance professionals who support IC governance. Organisations may also use it to build a shared operating standard across a complete committee or multiple locations. If your role is primarily to conduct or support workplace inquiries, the focused Investigator Certification may be more relevant.

How does an IC move from prevention to response?

Internal Committee effectiveness is built before a complaint arrives and tested when one is received. PoSH 360 helps members connect preventive governance with disciplined response so decisions are not improvised under pressure.

Before a complaint

Maintain appropriate committee composition, clarify member roles, support policy communication, participate in prevention efforts, establish secure records and agree how conflicts, urgent concerns and escalation questions will be handled.

When a complaint is received

Protect confidentiality, avoid pre-judgment, check jurisdiction and conflicts, communicate the process, preserve records and create a fair path forward. Where an inquiry is authorised, follow the applicable procedure and seek organisation-specific legal advice when needed.

Is PoSH 360 the right pathway for your IC?

Choose PoSH 360 when the need is broad IC capability across prevention, governance, complaint response and inquiry readiness. Choose Investigator Certification when complaint assessment, evidence, interviews, findings and report writing are the central requirement. Choose PoSH TTT when the role is to design and deliver employee or manager learning. Professionals who genuinely need both trainer and investigator capabilities can consider Dual Certification.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers about PoSH 360 eligibility, scope, authority and learning outcomes.

What is PoSH 360 Certification?

PoSH 360 is a professional capability programme for Internal Committee members. It connects prevention, governance, complaint response, documentation and inquiry readiness in one structured learning pathway.

Who should attend PoSH 360?

It is relevant to new and experienced IC members, Presiding Officers, external members and professionals who support committee governance. Organisations can also nominate a full IC cohort.

Is PoSH 360 only for existing IC members?

No. It may also help professionals preparing to support an IC, provided the programme is not treated as an appointment. Actual IC constitution and member eligibility must follow the applicable legal and organisational requirements.

Does certification authorise inquiry work?

No. Certification develops capability; it does not appoint someone to an IC, authorise an inquiry or replace organisation-specific legal advice. Authority comes from the organisation and the applicable process.

How is PoSH 360 different from Investigator Certification?

PoSH 360 covers the wider IC role across prevention, governance and response. Investigator Certification goes deeper into complaint assessment, inquiry planning, interviews, evidence, findings and report writing.

Can organisations nominate multiple IC members?

Yes, subject to programme availability. A shared cohort can help committee members build common language, role clarity and process expectations across the organisation.

Built around India’s PoSH framework

The learning architecture refers to the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 and uses practical workplace scenarios to explain committee responsibilities. The programme is professional learning, not legal advice for a specific complaint or organisation.
