APSCo UK and FCSA Temp Check Webinar - 26th November 12-12.30

Join Tania Bowers of APSCo UK and Chris Bryce of FCSA for an interactive chat on the big talking points of the last quarter and what we should expect going into 2027.

We’ll be prioritising any news “hot off the press” so our conversation will be flexible. However, topics of interest include:

• What we are seeing in the supply chain following the introduction of JSL, challenges and opportunities.

• New Employment Rights Act obligations now in force and what’s coming up into the new year.

• The latest on changes to the Conduct Regulations, employment status and guaranteed hours.

• What FCSA and APSCo focuses are for the new year.
