The Sherrards Academy UK Employment Law Course

CPD accredited training initiative which delivers bite-size employment law/HR related courses to line managers and HR professionals.

With the Employment Rights Act 2025 receiving Royal Assent in December 2025, the UK is preparing for one of the most significant overhauls of employment legislation in recent years. Although the new requirements will be introduced in stages, organisations need to be ahead of the curve — understanding the direction of reform, anticipating organisational impact, and ensuring policies and practices remain compliant.

As a leading specialist UK employment law firm, Sherrards brings unparalleled legal expertise directly into training opportunities. Each module of our Sherrards Academy UK Employment Law Course is delivered live by a highly qualified employment law solicitor with hands‑on experience advising employers on complex legal issues. This ensures every session is legally robust, fully up to date, and focused on the real‑world challenges faced by today’s HR teams.
