Welcome to the September edition of our Employment Law Bulletin
Our first article this month focuses on the duty to prevent
sexual harassment of workers and employees in the course of their
employment almost one year after it came into force. Employers are
encouraged to take stock of their progress on complying with the
preventative duty, and to actively review policies, procedures and
learning from specific complaints.
We continue to consider the legal implications of AI in the
workplace and our second article takes a look at the interesting
possibility that harassment claims might arise from the output of
AI tools.
We also report on the recent EAT case of Day v Lewisham &
Greenwich NHS Trust which highlights that whistleblowing
claims can be brought in relation to detriments which occur after
employment has ended, including statements made by a former
employer in relation to employment tribunal proceedings brought by
the employee.
The next in our series of free virtual Employment Brunch
Briefings takes place online on Tuesday 7 October
2025. In this session, delegates will learn about the work
of Alcoholics Anonymous, including its work with employers. It
would be great to see you there. Please click the link below to

Our 34th annual Charity Governance Seminar takes
place in Leeds on 16 October 2025. This event is
designed for senior leaders and trustees from across the charity
sector and will include engaging sessions on topics such as
governance, AI, place based philanthropy, and other pressing issues
facing charities today. Wrigleys' charity law experts will be
joined by brilliant keynote speakers from the sector. This is a day
