Employment Rights – What they are and how to enforce them

27 March, 2024 - 13:00 to 14:30

Greater Manchester Law Centre and ACAS North West have teamed up to deliver a series of workshops focusing on employment rights.

This workshop will look at basic employment rights and examine what you can do and who you can turn to if things start to go wrong at work.

The target audience is key workers and support staff from front-line organisations working with individuals and communities that require employment law support. This could be from simply knowing what employment law is to tackling bad practice.

The way in which people learn can have a wider implication for how they navigate people and activities.

Sometimes known as “specific learning difficulties/differences” or “SpLD”, conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and ADHD can change how a person processes information and navigate their environment.

Approximately 10% of the UK population has a SpLD.
