How schools can grapple with new employment law to thrive in a new era
Live online 10-11am Thursday 14 November
The Employment Rights Bill 2024 heralds a new era in employment law so it's imperative that schools and academies prepare now for the changes ahead. The bill introduces day one rights for dismissals, flexible working, union relations and equal pay for disability and race as well as establishing a new School Support Staff Negotiating Body. We’ll help you navigate these changes in a way that retains your agency in how you manage your staff.

Live online 12-1pm Thursday 21 November
