The Employment Rights Act is already reshaping employment law, with key changes introduced this past April – and further reforms set to take effect this October.
For independent opticians and optometrists, the next phase brings a shift in focus from new employee rights to increased employer responsibilities and legal risks.
To help you prepare, our Partner Citation is hosting an exclusive online session on Tuesday, 15 September at 6:30pm.
Join Flora Neville, associate speaker and business owner, as she covers:

What's changing in October and what it means for independent practices
Key risk areas, including harassment liability and tribunal exposure
Practical steps to protect your practice and stay compliant
