- Consider the changes we can expect in October 2026 such as extension of the sexual harassment preventative duty, trade union reforms and the procurement two-tier code.
- Look ahead to the high-profile changes to unfair dismissal rights in January 2027 and what these mean for employers as well as the introduction of mandatory equality action plans.
- Highlight the consultations that have recently concluded and the impact on future reforms in areas as varied as flexible working, fire and rehire and collective redundancy consultation.
- Discuss how to prepare for the wide-ranging measures introduced by the Act.
