Right to Work checks are about to change in a way that affects far more than traditional employees. From 1 October, businesses of all sizes — whether they rely on agency staff, subcontractors, gig‑economy workers or online matching platforms — will need to understand a new, wider set of responsibilities. These updates are designed to tighten compliance and make sure every individual carrying out work has the legal right to do so, but they also introduce new risks for organisations that aren’t prepared.

At Law Express, we really like dogs. They come with us to work and are often our constant companions. Whilst they do not give advice they are a really good reason to leave our desks for a walk during lunchtime. As dog fans we are keen to ensure that all fellow dog lovers are aware of recent legal changes.

New rules around dogs and livestock worrying have recently been strengthened. They now apply even when you’re sticking to public footpaths and rights of way. Walking anywhere with a dog where there is livestock in sight, in the next field or the one after that, it is advisable for dogs to be kept on a lead. We all know that even the best-behaved dog can have a ‘moment’ and returning after having entered a livestock field, even if there is no incident, can still breach the strengthened regulations.
