• On 10 October 2024, the Employment Rights Bill, which promises to deliver a “once in a generation” overhaul of employment rights was laid before Parliament. With 28 individual reforms being set out in the Bill, the effect on the education sector will be significant.

    In this webinar, Employment Law Senior Associate Abigail Brightwell provides an overview of the key areas for reform set out in the Employment Rights Bill. We consider the impact of the Bill on schools and their workforces and what this could mean for the employment law landscape within the education sector.
