SUMMARY:WPCC Employment Law - what's changing and what you need to know
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to hear from Sophia Radford\, Employment Law Solicitor at Blanchards Bailey LLP\,ll  who will be discussing the Employment Rights Act 2025 – one of the most significant pieces of employment legislation in 30 years impacting organisations of every size. Sophia will set out insights on the key changes coming into effect in April 2026 and provide practical guidance for employers on the steps they should have in place now and how to prepare for future changes such as the imminent unfair dismissal rights from 6 months. With employees having a far greater awareness of their employment rights and the assistance of AI it is key that businesses understand their obligations and feel confident in implementing the new legislation. This is a great opportunity to stay one step ahead and prepare your roadmap for change.     \nPlease note there are vegetarian or full English options for Breakfast. \n  \n \n
