People Matter: Unfair dismissal

Join us for the next webinar in our series focusing on key employment issues for higher education institutions. These sessions are for HR teams, senior management and in-house lawyers at higher education institutions. 

Judy Roy and Maya Segas will cover Unfair dismissal – what the changes in the Employment Rights Act 2025 mean for higher education institutions.

With the Employment Rights Act 2025 now in force and changes scheduled for implementation in 2026 and 2027, including the reduction of the unfair dismissal qualifying period to six months, higher education institutions are facing a shifting risk environment. In this webinar, we will examine implications of the reduction in the unfair dismissal qualifying period for probation procedures, performance management and HR processes across the sector, as well as consider the practical steps institutions should take now to prepare.
