The UK, like many countries, is facing a cost-of-living crisis. Rising energy prices, in particular, are going to see many businesses struggling.

This live and interactive online session will guide you through the steps that need to be followed to ensure a compliant redundancy programme. Join the highly regarded employment law expert Kathy Daniels in our virtual classroom as she discusses everything you need to know about the definition of redundancy, collective consultation, selection of individuals for redundancy and informing them they are to be dismissed, and suitable alternative employment.
