With significant workplace harassment reforms due to come into force on 30 October, employers should be taking steps now to review their policies, training and reporting procedures. These changes place greater emphasis on prevention and increase expectations on organisations to protect workers from harassment.

In our latest insight, Catherine Daw explores the key changes under the Employment Rights Act 2025, including the enhanced duty on employers to take “all reasonable steps” to prevent sexual harassment and the reintroduction of liability for harassment by third parties. She also highlights the practical steps employers can take to strengthen compliance, reduce risk and foster a safer workplace culture.

Many LGBTQIA+ people have built lives, relationships and support networks that may not fit traditional family structures. While legal protections have evolved, the people who matter most to us are not always automatically recognised when important decisions need to be made.

In our latest insight, Kathryn Tunbridge explores why lifetime planning is so important for LGBTQIA+ couples, covering Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, pension nominations and digital assets. She explains how putting the right arrangements in place can help ensure your wishes are respected and that the people you trust are empowered to act on your behalf when it matters most.

Earlier this week, we took a welcome break from our busy schedules with a special visit from an ice cream van! Following another spell of warm weather, it was the perfect opportunity to cool off, enjoy the sunshine and catch up with colleagues over a sweet treat, courtesy of our Wellbeing Committee.

It’s moments like these that remind us of the importance of taking time to recharge and appreciate our hard work.
