This webinar is ideal for:

• Town, Parish & Community Clerks, RFOs, staff members and councillors

With the Employment Rights Act 2025 introducing additions and amendments to existing legislation, Town, Parish & Community Councils should consider the impact of these changes and ensure their staff policies remain aligned with these evolving rules. 

A number of changes have already taken place between December 2025 and April 2026, introducing practical updates to standard workplace policies such as changes to statutory sick pay structures and adjustments to the unfair dismissal qualifying window. Further employment law changes included in the Act will happen throughout 2026 and 2027, and now is the perfect time to ensure your council is prepared for these.

Join James Corrigan, Director of Council HR and Governance Support, to gain a clear understanding of the recent legislative updates and the steps your council needs to take to remain compliant, as well as future changes and what you can do to prepare.

With over 25 years of experience as a chief officer, 8 years as a parish clerk, and a decade as a National Advisor for the SLCC, James brings a wealth of firsthand, practical knowledge to help you easily apply these updated regulations to your local council's daily operations and policies.

You will discover:

• The Core Updates: A simple breakdown of the new legislation.
• The Implementation Timeline: A look at when the planned elements come into effect.
• Building Compliance Confidence: Remove the fear of getting it wrong.
• Practical Roadmap: The actions you need to make now and in the future.
