Peer discussion groups

Hannah Morrison, Legal Director, Brabners and Grace Pennington, Solicitor, Brabners

Often as the sole voice in the organisation for risk and compliance, sharing experiences and insights with peers is invaluable. We’ll explore critical topics in small groups, such as employment rights, EU relations, and the new government’s policies—particularly regarding visa changes for carers and the shortage of teachers. We’ll also delve into the implementation and enforcement of new regulations. With Brabners and APSCo representatives at each table, this is a unique opportunity to discuss what’s keeping you awake at night and to gather feedback that could shape your approach to these pressing challenges.
