People Strategy 2026: Essential Employment Law & Immigration Update for Care Providers

 We are delighted to invite members to an in-person employment and immigration law seminar with the specialist employment and immigration solicitors in RWK Goodman’s Health & Social Care team.

 What can you expect?

The Employment Rights Act is the most significant reform of employment law in over 50 years, aiming to rebalance employer-employee relations. As changes begin in 2026, care providers should prepare for their impact and implementation. The seminar will outline major changes affecting the sector and how to prepare for them:

• Managing the financial risk of changes to statutory sick pay eligibility from April 2026 and how to effectively manage sickness absences
• Reform of ‘fire and rehire’ and new restrictions on making changes to employment contracts
• An update on the new Fair Pay Agreement for care workers and increased rights for trade unions in 2026
• Getting ready for the new requirements to (i) take all reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment and (ii) prevent harassment (on any grounds) by third parties (including residents/service users) by Autumn 2026

 International recruitment continues to be a key challenge for care providers with sponsor licence revocations and civil penalties increasing. We will share our experience on common mistakes made by sponsors, strategies to reduce non-compliance and guidance on conducting right to work checks.

 Who should attend?

HR professionals, directors, business owners, executives, managers, team leaders and anyone with responsibility for HR, people management and sponsor licence compliance within an organisation that delivers adult social care services.
