The forthcoming Employment Rights Bill represents one of the most significant shifts in HR and employment law in recent years, with wide-ranging implications for schools and trusts. From new rules on probationary periods and unfair dismissal to expanded rights around flexible working and predictable working patterns, these changes will reshape how schools manage, support, and protect their staff. Failing to prepare risks not only non-compliance but also costly disputes, reputational damage, and challenges to leadership credibility. This conference is your opportunity to get ahead of the curve — with expert legal insight, practical HR strategies, and sector-specific guidance designed to help you respond proactively rather than reactively.
