The world of family leave and employment rights is changing fast. From April 2026, new laws will expand and reshape entitlements for maternity, paternity, adoption, neonatal care, bereavement, and carers’ leave — with significant implications for employers.

Join our expert employment lawyers for a practical, interactive webinar designed to give HR professionals, managers, and business leaders a clear, actionable understanding of these changes.

During this webinar we’ll cover:

  • All types of family leave, from maternity and adoption to flexible working and emergency time off for dependants
  • New and upcoming entitlements, including bereavement and neonatal care leave
  • Practical guidance for managing requests, staying compliant, and protecting your workforce
  • Top tips for HR teams and line managers on policy updates, communication, and return-to-work planning

Have your say in the conversation:

  • Live Q&A — get your questions answered by our Employment Law Training Manager (Becky Madden)
  • Polls to benchmark how organisations are managing family leave today

You’ll leave the webinar with:

  • A clear understanding of the 2026/27 legislative changes and how they affect your organisation
  • Practical guidance to update policies and processes in advance
  • Expert insights into managing sensitive employee requests with confidence
  • Actionable steps to ensure compliance and minimise risk
