Unfair Dismissal Changes: What Employers Need to Do

8 Jul 2026

Changes to unfair dismissal rules are on the way and could affect your organisation.

For many organisations, especially those with limited HR capacity, this is not something to leave until later. If you're managing staff in a charity or community organisation, it’s worth understanding what’s changing now before it impacts your team.

GCVS have posted a useful article on the changes coming into effect and how to understand them.
