This month, Sarah is joined by Elizabeth Last, a Solicitor in the Employment and HR team at Buxton Coates.

Elizabeth has been with Buxton Coates for 5 years, moving from Paralegal to Solicitor. 

In this podcast, Sarah and Elizabeth discuss Christmas parties and festive events. So much can go wrong at a Christmas party, and you could be held responsible, so it’s always best to be protected in any case. 

Their discussion covers the following topics:

- Learn about Christmas Party policies and how this can help avoid HR issues.
- Vicarious liability and how this applies to Christmas parties. Who is responsible for the actions of self-employed team members at a party?
- What is the best type of event for a Christmas party, to keep you covered?
- Social media issues - what to share on social media at a Christmas party - and whether to have a social media policy in place.
