#Whistleblowing has been squarely in the sights of the FCA recently, with a wider range of potential concerns for disclosure in #financialservices qualifying for newly increased protections. Our employment team reviews the implications of these changes: https://t.co/t1doitXeYC

It was an excellent talk by Jodie - went to show that mental health issues are no bar to being an inspiring person. All goes to #TackleTheStigma

[Penningtons Manches Cooper @Penningtonslaw]

Mental health is something we’re passionate about. For #MHAW we’ll be sharing some activities we’re doing to improve wellbeing. Our mental health champions and first aiders do so much to support colleagues. It’s invaluable knowing you have people within your organisation who care

This is not unexpected- Birmingham is a recognised centre of excellence with the professional services and advisors well established to support such a move

[Tom Walker @TomWillWalker]

So a top financial services firm expands outside of London. Amsterdam? Paris? No - Birmingham. It’s good to see such a vote of confidence in what is a great city. https://t.co/x9ytD9Hiu4

This has to be good. But follow the link ‘digital toolkit’ where it says “It could also be that you wish to report [to the FCA for wrongdoing] a family member or neighbour”. It’s kind of the FCA to ensure family and litigation lawyers aren’t short of work https://t.co/RG1e5mxsHN

Let’s hope this is a big misunderstanding - otherwise it’s a quite terrifying insight into how ‘working from home’ could develop if employers’ behaviour goes unchecked. https://t.co/CgN74Thepg

[Penningtons Manches Cooper @Penningtonslaw]

Congratulations to @pat_saini, @hazarelchamaa & @MeghanVozila, who have all been recommended in the 2021 edition of @whoswholegal corporate immigration guide. Lawyers selected for the guide are internationally recognised for their expertise and experience.

I am delighted that the 5th edition of Family Law: A Global Guide, known to family practitioners as the ‘Blue Book’, is published by Thomson Reuters today. 56 jurisdictions covered. Order your copy here: https://t.co/PkCyGTrtTS #FamilyLaw #IAFL #internationalfamilylaw

This is positive - there was a danger the proposed simplifications could become reductions in employee protection. For example calculating overtime in holiday pay is a nuisance but for some it is an essential part of their earnings.

[Tom Walker @TomWillWalker]

David Davis in 2016 reassured people who voted for Brexit that their workplace rights were safe. Some simplifications could be helpful for everyone but not if they lead to weaker protections. Let’s see where this goes, the Red Wall will be watching. https://t.co/Fp10L5C8cK

Points to note from the consultation on post employment restrictive covenants - it applies not only to ‘non-competes’ but to all restrictive covenants; it suggests either a ban or compensation; it recognises non-competes can currently last for 12 months. https://t.co/7s8VTFV6q4
