Meeting Agenda

Welcome & introduction

Shazia Imtiaz, General Counsel, APSCo UK

Right to Work: Be Compliant

Gemma Tracey, Partner, JMW Solicitors LLP

Gemma will be running a training session to assist APSCo members with undertaking legal and compliant Right to Work checks. Gemma manages the APSCo immigration helpline and is familiar with the RTW questions that APSCo members have – she’ll help to simplify complex guidance on the area and will provide her top tips in relation to how organisations can avoid hefty penalties for illegal working.

APSCo wants to ensure that its meetings are useful and beneficial whilst staying within the law. In compliance with UK competition law, any discussions at meetings should not involve any exchange of sensitive commercial information, e.g. pricing or components of pricing which may appreciably prevent, restrict or distort competition, or any discussion/agreement about whether or not to work with particular clients. All our meeting chairs are briefed not to allow discussions to stray into such territory, but we would ask you to be mindful of this during networking sessions.
