School HR Day 2025 – The Future of Employment Law in Education

The Employment Rights Bill proposes fundamental changes to employment law, many of which have a direct impact on the education sector. Is your school prepared?

Join HCR Law’s Education team for a day of essential updates and interactive sessions dedicated to supporting those working within schools, colleges and education institutions with responsibility for staffing and HR.

Key topics explored on the day will include:

• The Employment Rights Bill: we will address the key proposals, the latest developments, and offer our guidance on preparing for change.
• Trade union activity: with increased levels of union engagement in the sector and a strengthening of trade union rights, the team will advise on best practices for engaging constructively, avoiding legal pitfalls, and preserving employee relations.
• Restructuring and redundancies: VAT on school fees in the independent sector and the rise of National Insurance Contributions for employers means many schools are revising their existing staffing structures to manage costs. Our team will provide detailed guidance on navigating these processes in a legally-sound and compassionate manner that preserves staff morale and your school’s reputation.

Agenda

Refreshments will be provided throughout the day and there will be plenty of opportunities to catch up with your fellow delegates and ask questions.

Book your ticket today to join us on Wednesday 25 June. Tickets cost £30 + VAT.
