Avado and Amanda Chadwick Unveil New HR Compliance Course for Managers

In a transformative move for UK employers, Avado, the frontrunner in online HR training and CIPD qualifications, has announced the launch of its latest offering—HR Compliance for Managers. Scheduled to launch on July 1, 2026, this CPD-certified course aims to equip managerial staff with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the complexities of evolving employment legislation effectively.

As the Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces unprecedented changes to UK employment law, it marks a significant turning point for employers. The Act heralds the most substantial revision of employment regulations seen in a generation and is being rolled out in phases from 2026 to 2027. Recent developments, such as the formation of the Fair Work Agency in April 2026 and the implementation of new worker rights, including improved paternity leave and statutory sick pay, underscore the urgency of legal compliance for employers.

One of the most critical upcoming changes that managers must prepare for includes the extension of the period for bringing tribunal claims from three months to six months, effective October 2026. Additionally, the responsibility of employers to prevent sexual harassment will become stricter. By January 2027, the qualifying period for unfair dismissal claims will be reduced significantly from two years to six months, alongside the removal of limits on unfair dismissal compensation.

These shifts inevitably place increased legal risks on managers, who regularly engage in decisions related to hiring, conduct, performance management, and terminations without formal legal training. HR Compliance for Managers is meticulously designed to bridge this gap. The course spans six units over a total of six hours, seamlessly combining expert-led video lectures with interactive scenarios, knowledge assessments, and practical templates aimed at enhancing understanding and application of the law in everyday situations.

Topics covered include key components of current legislation, ethical hiring practices, effective performance management, handling of grievances, and understanding the concepts of psychological safety and employee wellbeing. This course is tailored specifically for non-specialist managers, allowing them to learn at their own pace online, thus fostering a more legally compliant workplace culture across all levels of the organization.

The demand for such training is evident. In a recent survey conducted by Avado involving over 500 HR professionals, a significant majority identified employment law fundamentals as their top training priority for the year ahead.

Avado’s Chief Executive Officer, Alexis Regan, emphasized the necessity of this course: “For over a decade, Avado has facilitated the skill development of HR and LD professionals. This partnership with Amanda Chadwick not only extends our support to every manager but also reinforces the importance of compliance in everyday decisions that influence the legality of organizational practices.” He described Amanda as a remarkable authority on UK employment law, whose expertise will enhance the learning experience and drive home the course’s relevance at this critical juncture for UK businesses.

HR compliance is a shared responsibility that transcends the HR department. By empowering managers, Avado aims to ensure that the entire organization remains informed about compliance, thus, mitigating potential legal repercussions. This proactive approach intends to create a safer workplace while reducing anxiety around new legislative changes.

Conclusion
HR Compliance for Managers is now available at avadolearning.com. For organizations eager to stay ahead of the curve amidst these changes, this course presents a golden opportunity to safeguard their operations and foster a culture of compliance well into the future.
