Employers will have to comply with new statutory requirements to respond to such requests, or risk possible claims at the Employment Tribunal for Constructive Dismissal (without two years service) and discrimination
- Rights for carers to have additional unpaid leave
- Changes to how holiday pay is calculated and paid
To enable councils to respond to these new entitlements and to update their terms and conditions of employment, we are holding a one hour session to provide members with information they need to know.

Other times conflict leads to relationships breaking down. This on-line session will share techniques to help you identify ways to work with conflict in a way that leads to healthy relationships with your council teams.
During the session we will cover the following:
- Consider relevant YLCA policies and guidelines that can support you
- Explain why healthy conflict is key to successful teams
- Identify your own productive and destructive tendencies in conflict
- Consider how your preferences might impact on the rest of your team
- Explore ideas to improve how you respond in conflict
