This in-person session, delivered by specialist employment and immigration solicitors from RWK Goodman in partnership with Care and Support West, will help care providers understand and prepare for some of the most significant employment law changes in over 50 years.

Why Attend?

The Employment Rights Bill and wider workforce reforms coming into force from 2026 will have major implications for care providers. This seminar will help you stay compliant, reduce risk, and plan your people strategy with confidence.

You’ll gain insight into:

  • Managing financial risks linked to statutory sick pay eligibility changes (from April 2026)

  • New restrictions on “fire and rehire” and employment contract changes

  • Updates on the Fair Pay Agreement for care workers and expanded trade union rights

  • New legal duties to prevent sexual harassment and third-party harassment by Autumn 2026
