Education HR Networking Group

The Employment Rights Bill is due to be introduced in 2026, but proposals in the draft Bill already indicate that you should start reviewing your employment practices now, ahead of its finalisation.

One key area is the probationary period process and its effectiveness in Schools and Academies. This will become even more significant once the Bill is in place, so what steps can Schools and Academies take now to prepare for these changes? With this in mind, this networking session will focus on probationary periods in more detail.

Attendees will have the opportunity to drop in, ask questions on this topic, and share their own experiences of using probationary periods—what works, what doesn’t, and what improvements can be made.

Please join us for these discussions so you can start considering what actions you need to take to establish a robust probationary process.

This networking group is for HR professionals, CFOs, business managers, and other staff with HR responsibilities in Schools and Trusts. It provides a space for members to connect, engage, learn, and share experiences.

As this is a networking group, we encourage members to turn their cameras on if they feel comfortable doing so. We will be hosting the sessions and engaging with relevant speakers to ensure the group gains valuable insights.

We now have an Education HR Networking group on LinkedIn. This will enable us to continue our discussions with you throughout the year, and allow us to share best practices. If you want to join the group, please click here.

We look forward to welcoming you to the next Education HR Networking group.
