Welcome to February's Workplace Law. Over the next 3 months we will be sharing with you an in-depth, three part, video series on the anatomy of a Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) tribunal case. We are delighted to be joined by Gatehouse Chambers Barrister, Sara Ibrahim, for this video series. This month's video focuses on the types of claims that can be made in SEND tribunals.

This month you'll also find a selection of articles. With a general election expected this year, we consider the Labour Party's current proposals for employment law reform and what steps employers should take to prepare for the possibility of a Labour government. We also explain the new law on carer's leave which is expected to come into force in April 2024, plus we report on a recent case about the extent of the ICO's obligations when investigating complaints of infringement of data protection legislation.

If you have any questions about any of the topics raised in Workplace Law, please do get in touch.
