Breakfast Briefing for School Leaders | legally compliant recruitment and safe school trips

Join our Education Breakfast Briefing this July to discover the steps school leaders need to take to ensure a fair and legal recruitment process and how to meet your health and safety obligations when preparing for educational visits.

Legally compliant recruitment

With growing concerns around sourcing new talent, understaffed schools across the UK are embarking on a recruitment drive this summer.

Our team are currently receiving an influx on queries around the recruitment process and the steps needed to ensure fairness and compliance with employment laws. 

In this session, we’ll share the step-by-step process schools must follow to help you ensure a smooth and successful hire and avoid potential legal pitfalls.

Safe school trips

The relaxing of restrictions means the wider return of school trips and other outdoor learning activities this summer. 

These educational visits have clear benefits for pupils and students, but misunderstandings surrounding the application of health and safety law may, in some cases, discourage schools and teachers from organising such trips. 

In this session, you’ll learn what’s expected of schools and how to balance safety and learning.
