Employment Rights Act for independent schools

We are delighted to launch our new 2026 independent schools webinar series. Please join Sonya O'Reilly, Partner in our employment team and Head of Birketts' Independent Schools sector team, as she guides you through the key changes coming in under the new Employment Rights Act 2025 and, in particular, the implications for independent schools. In this bite-sized, 30-minute session, Sonya will highlight what the new legislation means for independent schools and share clear, actionable steps to help you prepare for compliance, especially in relation to recruitment and probationary periods. Sonya will also discuss the remaining 'window of opportunity' for making any necessary changes to terms and conditions (such as moving away from the Teachers' Pension Scheme). To ensure that you are invited to future webinars and receive our newsletters please opt in to our mailing lists and select the appropriate areas of interest. https://www.birketts.co.uk/register Disclaimer: The content of this webinar is for general information only.
