Breakfast Briefing for School Leaders | legislative changes, employment claims and safety culture
This free one-hour webinar aims to spotlight upcoming legislative changes that are likely to impact schools and working practices, giving you that much needed time to prepare.
We will be offering an update on the National Minimum Wage (NMW) case between Lloyd v Elmhurst School Limited – looking at practical steps that can be taken to ensure the correct calculation of holiday entitlement and contracts, as well as a review the of the increase in rates and the impact on various employment law claims.
In the final part of this webinar, we will explore how safety culture affects a school and explain the importance of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) in adopting a positive safety culture.
“Being in the highest levels of senior leadership can be quite isolating, so the reassurance of having someone there to support on significant issues is invaluable.”
