Changes to flexible working webinar: Opportunities for schools
12 October 2023
With changes proposed to legislation around flexible working, join us as we explore what this means for schools and consider how it could be a catalyst for change in the sector.
This webinar took place on Thursday 16 November and focused on the proposed legal changes and how they impact the process for handling flexible working requests and decision-making at schools and trusts.
This session ensures you are familiar with the proposed changes and well equipped to review your own internal policies and practices.
As always, we offer practical advice and guidance, but also consider how these changes may pose an opportunity to bring about changes in mindset and culture, whilst ensuring that students and their outcomes remain at the heart of decision-making.
