About
From January 2027, the time it takes for staff to gain unfair dismissal rights drops dramatically from two years to just six months. For school leaders, governors, and MAT executives, the luxury of time is disappearing - early performance issues, missed probation checks, and routine fixed-term contract endings will carry immediate legal and financial risks.

Join our education HR experts for this practical, jargon-free workshop designed specifically for education leaders. You will learn how to adapt your hiring, restructure probation reviews, and give your line managers the skills to make confident, fair, and legally sound decisions before the six-month mark.
