Darlington Business Event - Expression of Interest

The landscape for UK employers has shifted. With the Employment Rights Act 2025 now in effect, 2026 marks the beginning of the most significant overhaul of workplace rights in a generation.

The stakes are higher than ever. Single tribunal claims reached record levels in 2025, and with the Fair Work Agency launching this April, the government now has proactive powers to inspect your business and enforce rights like holiday and sick pay directly. From "day-one" paternity leave to the removal of the three-day SSP waiting period, the "grace period" for compliance is over.

Our expert speakers will be sharing tips, insights, and advice on these vital updates - and how you can stay on the right side of UK law in 2026.

So, to learn how to protect your business, secure your space for this exclusive event.

Research shows that UK SMEs spend an average of 636 hours per year on HR and Health & Safety administration alone.

What's more concerning - 42% of employers are not confident that their current policies and procedures are compliant with existing employment law, with some businesses not having updated their documentation in the last 6 months missing crucial updates and putting their business at risk.

At this seminar, you'll take away tips to strengthen your existing policies and documentation, helping you protect your business against risk. From crafting a watertight employee contract to rolling out a risk assessment, gain these essential skills from our expert speakers.

Join us for an informative morning where you'll receive:

• Expert guidance on how to protect your business from the latest Employment Law and H&S updates.
• Best practice for handling day-to-day business challenges such as dismissals, new staff contracts & employee disputes.
• Clear instructions on creating robust and comprehensive contracts/handbooks to protect your business.
• You will also receive a free legal review of your current contract and handbooks with advice on areas of exposure to your business.
• Complimentary refreshments and lunch

Don't panic! Our relaxed sessions take place in-person and online, so there's something to suit everyone's diary. Register for one of our webinars today to gain expert advice at your own convenience.
