Who is it for?

Designed for HR professionals, school leaders and governors, this session will provide practical guidance to ensure organisations are both legally compliant and culturally robust.

Briefing Overview

The Employment Rights Act 2025 strengthens employer duties in relation to whistleblowing protections and the prevention of sexual harassment, reflecting a clear shift towards proactive compliance and cultural accountability.

This session will explore the enhanced statutory duty to prevent sexual harassment, including expectations around preventative steps, leadership responsibility, and organisational culture. We will also examine developments in whistleblowing protections, including expanded safeguards for workers and the implications for handling protected disclosures.

The briefing will focus not only on legal compliance, but on what these changes mean in practice — from policy updates and reporting mechanisms to training, governance oversight, and risk management.

Designed for HR professionals, school leaders and governors, this session will provide practical guidance to ensure organisations are both legally compliant and culturally robust.
