The Very latest developments in Employment Law.

UK Employment law update training brings you up to date with the very latest developments in employment law and compliance requirements. Driven by Government initiatives, new legislation and tribunal decisions employment law is continually evolving. We update course content before each delivery session.

As at May 2026 some of the most significant changes are being driven by the Employment Rights Act 2025 and newly launched Fair Work Agency; both of which place far greater emphasis on employers adopting robust compliance and breach investigation processes.

The Worker Protection Act (Preventative Duty on Sexual Harassment) has been further amended with employer liabilities for third parties such as customers and other stakeholders, with a pending change requiring employers to take all reasonable action to prevent the sexual harassment of their employees; as above the emphasis is on employers taking comprehensive proactive action and evidencing that they have do so.

New Data Protection regulations have brought in a demand for visible complaints procedures as well as fresh provisions looking at legitimate interests, subject access requests and the processing of sensitive staff data. There is more to come. Parliament will soon be finalising a new Disability and Race Bill which has a focus on closing the disability and ethnic pay gaps with similar frameworks to the existing gender pay gap regulations.

In a nutshell, all this means that now and in the foreseeable future, employment rights enforcement will continue to develop, with stronger powers to investigate employers and their compliance performance.

Our one-day employment law brings all of the above, plus the very latest develops together to provide a comprehensive update for HR professionals and senior leaders. We also offer more detailed subject specific courses on individual topes such as Worker Protection Act and Preventing Sexual Harassment at Work, Data Protection, Equal Pay, etc
