A significant new phase of the Employment Rights Act 2025 implementation programme will take effect this month.

Upcoming webinar | 8 October 2026

Join discrimination law specialists Sarah Gilzean and Fiona Meek for our next webinar on 8 October which will take a closer look at the new and amended duties to prevent harassment in the workplace. We will also look at the steps that employers (with 250 or more employees) should be taking now to prepare for the requirement to produce equality action plans relating to gender equality and menopause which takes effect in April 2027.

The webinar will last for approximately 50 minutes, is free to attend and is applicable to the law of Scotland, England, and Wales.

Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace

In August we were fortunate to be joined by Dr Sigi Joseph and Dr Jane Catley from The Doctor Explains, an organisation promoting greater understanding of health and wellbeing amongst employers and the wider public. The session provided a doctor's perspective on some of the most common health and wellbeing challenges facing employers and employees, together with practical advice on how these issues can be managed effectively within the workplace.

We also looked at the legal considerations for employers and how a healthy and supportive working environment can be achieved.

Our latest podcast episodes are now live, with Alan Delaney joining David Hossack to discuss the opportunities, risks and employment law considerations that flow from the use of AI in the workplace.

David also speaks to Stuart McWilliams about the new rules on Right to Work checks which are effective from 1 October.
