Employment Law briefing in collaboration with Irwin Mitchell

Employment Law briefing

On the 7th of November we will be hosting our annual employment law update in collaboration with leading law firm Irwin Mitchell.

This interactive event will be hosted by our Head of People Partnering Michelle Gabriel and Jenny Arrowsmith Employment Law Partner at Irwin Mitchell.

The session will focus on the new Employment Rights Bill and other key employment law changes and will highlight the key points school leaders need to be aware of to help you ahead with practical suggestions.

During the briefing we will discuss:

Labour’s promise of a “new partnership of cooperation between trade unions, employers and government” – what does this mean for schools?
The new Worker Protection Act and the proactive duty on employers to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace
Proposed new day one rights for all employees
Will there be a right to switch off for employees and what will that look like?
Will there still be a distinction between a worker and an employee?
Proposals for a school support staff negotiating body
Extended protection to new mothers
Amendments to the National Minimum wage
