Employment Law Update for Academies and Maintained Schools

Employment Law Update for Academies and Maintained Schools

Join VWV’s employment law experts at our live webinar for the latest updates and practical guidance on preparing for legislative changes

At: Webinar

11 Mar 2025

11.00am - 12.00pm

With key legislative change on the horizon, a raft of important case law, and increasing employer costs, schools must be more resilient than ever. The rise in employer NICs and national minimum wage from April 2025 adds further financial pressures, while new statutory rights and pay structures will reshape employment practices across the sector.

Our online session will cover:

  • Neonatal leave and pay – what schools need to know ahead of the April 2025 introduction

  • The Employment Rights Bill – the latest position and what’s next

  • The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill – academy pay implications, including the introduction of a ‘floor but no ceiling’ for AMS schools

  • A review of key case law affecting the sector.

This session will help keep you up to date and provide practical guidance on how to prepare for and implement these changes effectively.
