Avado, Amanda Chadwick Launch 6-Hour HR Course as UK Employment Risks Rise

1 articles · Updated · techrseries.com · Jul 3

Summary

  • A CPD-certified six-unit, six-hour HR compliance course for managers went live on July 1, targeting UK organisations and individual learners as employers face tougher legal exposure.
  • The launch tracks the Employment Rights Act 2025 rollout, with the Fair Work Agency already operating since April 2026 and new day-one rights on paternity leave and statutory sick pay already in force.
  • From October 2026, most tribunal claim deadlines will double to six months from three, and employers’ duty on sexual harassment will tighten to taking all reasonable steps.
  • From January 2027, the qualifying period for unfair dismissal claims will drop to six months from two years, while the cap on unfair dismissal compensation will be removed.
  • Avado said demand is already evident: in a survey of more than 500 HR professionals, employment law essentials ranked as the top training priority for 2026.
