In this episode of Employment Talk, our hosts explore the latest developments under the Employment Rights Act 2025 affecting working parents and carers, and what they could mean for employers in practice.

Listen to the podcast for a practical overview of what’s changing, the key risks employers should be aware of, and how you can start preparing now ahead of reforms expected from 2027.
