October marks another significant stage in the rollout of the Employment Rights Act 2025.

Under the Act, greater emphasis is being placed on prevention, accountability and ensuring people have a meaningful opportunity to enforce their workplace rights.

For employers, this is an opportunity to consider whether training, reporting processes and day-to-day workplace practices stand up to scrutiny.

For employees, understanding the changes in the legal landscape can be just as important as knowing what rights already exist.

Our latest overview looks at some of the key changes taking effect this October and what they could mean for workplaces.

Reaching the point where you feel ready to discuss divorce with your spouse is rarely a decision that has been made lightly. The conversation can feel overwhelming, not only because of what needs to be said, but because of the impact it may have on everyone involved.

Taking time to prepare, choosing the right moment and approaching the discussion with empathy can help keep the focus on understanding rather than conflict. Although one conversation is unlikely to answer every question, it can be an important first step towards discussing the future in a thoughtful and respectful way.

Asbestos-containing roofing sheets are being advertised online for free or as little as £1, potentially exposing unsuspecting buyers to a serious health risk.

Industrial disease lawyer Ryan O’Hara recently found online listings for second-hand roofing sheets, including materials described as “low grade asbestos”. While the price may be low, the potential consequences are not.

Asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibres when disturbed, and exposure may not lead to illness until many years later. If you come across a similar listing, do not collect or handle the material. Report it to the platform instead.

"I spent so long worrying about making the wrong decision that I forgot to ask what support was available."

Divorce often brings a series of important decisions, from arrangements for children to financial matters and future plans. It's natural to spend time weighing up the possible outcomes, but in doing so, it's easy to overlook the people, expertise and resources that can help along the way.

Understanding the process is about more than knowing what happens next. It's about knowing where to find reliable information, which conversations could make a difference, and what support is available when decisions feel particularly challenging.

Taking the time to understand the resources around you can help make the process feel more manageable and ensure that decisions are made with the best information available.

The right information can make difficult decisions feel more manageable. Click the link to find out more.

Should engineered stone be banned, or could stronger safety measures adequately protect the workers who process it?

A Sky News investigation found safety concerns at 56% of the engineered stone businesses visited, with enforcement notices issued at nearly 40% of those sites.

Simon Matthews, Senior Associate at Slater and Gordon, explains why exposure to silica dust can cause rapidly progressing forms of silicosis and shares his expert opinion on whether tighter safety measures go far enough.

He also answers a question many consumers may have: are engineered stone worktops dangerous once installed in the home, or does the main risk arise during processing?

Simon also raises concerns about the limited use of existing safety procedures that could significantly reduce workers’ exposure to silica dust.

Watch the full interview to hear Simon explain how stronger safety standards could help protect workers exposed to silica dust from engineered stone.

A serious injury can change life in an instant. For Nicky, losing her leg after being struck by a lorry while cycling meant facing a future that looked completely different from the life she had known.

There were moments when continuing felt almost impossible, but the thought of experiencing nature again gave Nicky something deeply personal to work towards. Being able to step outside and spend time in her garden represented far more than mobility. It meant reconnecting with a part of life that mattered to her.

In this deeply personal account, Nicky shares the difficult realities of life after serious injury, the determination it took to continue and what it has meant to return to the things she values.

Watch Nicky’s story.

During Baby Loss Awareness Week, we remember babies who have been lost and recognise the experiences of every family affected. By sharing their stories, we can help ensure they feel heard, understood and never forgotten.

“I put my trust in the medical staff and believed that Kimberley was in safe hands.”
These are the words of Yann, whose daughter Olivia died five days after she was born.
Kimberley was 34 weeks pregnant when she attended Princess Royal Hospital after fainting and experiencing weakness, dizziness and excruciating pain.

She says her symptoms were attributed to trapped wind, but doctors later discovered that a major blood vessel had ruptured, causing catastrophic internal bleeding.

Olivia was delivered by emergency caesarean section on 14 September 2024. She had suffered a severe brain injury caused by a lack of oxygen or blood flow and died five days later.

Kimberley and Yann say they raised concerns about her worsening condition but felt dismissed. They are now seeking answers about the care Kimberley and Olivia received.
By sharing their daughter’s story, they hope concerns raised by families will be heard and acted upon.

Today, we remember Olivia and all the babies held forever in the hearts of those who love them.

This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week, and this year’s campaign is focused on breaking the silence around baby loss, sharing families’ experiences and ensuring those affected feel supported and less alone.

“When parents repeatedly say that something does not feel right, those concerns should never be dismissed.”

These are the words of Rajesh, whose daughter Neha lived for just 13 hours.
An inquest found that delays and failures in the care provided before and after Neha’s birth were linked to her death. The coroner concluded that her life would have been prolonged had she been delivered earlier.

Neha’s parents, Divya and Rajesh, had repeatedly raised concerns about their baby and asked for a caesarean birth, but they felt their voices were not heard.

By sharing Neha’s story, they hope lessons will be learned and that other families will be listened to when they say something does not feel right.

Today, we remember Neha and all of the much-loved babies who died too soon.
