The Sherrards Academy

UK Employment Law Course

Designed for people managers and HR professionals looking to deepen their understanding of the key aspects of UK employment law, the Academy is delivered in bite-sized units over a four-week period and is designed to fit in with the day to day demands of working in HR/people management. The Sherrards Academy blends direct contact with an experienced, specialist employment law solicitor with accompanying learning content which can be accessed flexibly, 24/7 via our learning platform. Successful completion of the Academy and its assignments results in the award of a certificate.

Open Courses

We offer a range of open training sessions, usually for half a day, on topics such as Managing Long and Short Term Sickness Absence, Positive Performance Management and Handling Disciplinaries and Grievances. One of the key benefits of these training sessions is the mix of delegates from varying organisations giving individuals the opportunity to share experiences and ideas.

Webinars

We regularly run live webinars via Zoom on topical subjects. Recent webinars have covered Handling Menopause in the Workplace, Without Prejudice Conversations and Settlement Agreements and Handling Subject Access Requests.
