The new Corporate Manslaughter Bill makes it far easier for organisations whose senior managers have breached their duty of care, to be prosecuted. Historically many prosecutions failed against all but the smallest organisations, so the new act could, potentially, see a dramatic rise in the number of successful corporate manslaughter cases, the first of which was brought in April 2009.
The new act holds all employers accountable for the actions and decisions of their senior managers, so it is essential that senior managers and their teams understand and comply with the latest legislation. This includes not just the corporate manslaughter act but also an important raft of legislation now in place; to ensure the workplace is safe this knowledge should be updated regularly.
This intensive and informative one day workshop provides guidance on good practice and how providers and employers can best meet the latest requirements.
For Whom
The workshop is designed for all managers and HR teams as well as teachers, trainers and learning support teams who have to both comply with and cascade health and safety legislation to learners.

These certificates will detail the key learning aims and the face-to-face learning hours undertaken, enabling participants to update their CPD records and logs accordingly. The workshop also allows time, during the day, for participants to reflect on and record their personal learning development and consider how best to apply the knowledge gained on return to work. This element of the programme is designed to maximise the benefits from attending and enable participants to make better review judgments when recording their CPD activities.
