Task A

Imagine you are a newly appointed supervisor/manager within your service. You need to
update your staff handbook to reflect current employment law.

1. Identify three different sources of information you could use to enable you to do this.
Once you have identified a reliable source of information:

2. List three aspects of employment covered by law.

3. List three main features of current employment legislation.

4. Briefly outline why employment law exists.


Its mainly the 1st question what does it mean by sources? Thanks in advance xx

It's asking you to think about what you'd do if you were ever in a managerial or supervisory position. It would be your responsibility to ensure the setting operated lawfully. The questions provide the guidance for reply, it's not asking you to create a new staff handbook , a copy of what your setting has in place would be a great source to start with xx

Sources are places, people or objects that you can obtain things from, different sources for employment law could be

• Your setting's current staff handbook
• Citizens advice bureau
• Your government website eg. Gov.uk workpolace - rights at work
• Your local authority contacts and/or website - find your council
• the HSE
• ACAS
• Trade union or a human resource department
• ICO data protection and principles

Have a look through those and see which 3 you'd prefer to say you've identified or maybe they'll prompt the other type of sources your setting has knowledge of/contact with?

Different legistlation has different focus, the main features of current employment legislation involves

Anti discrimination and equal opportunity
Protecting employees through healthy, safe working environments eg. workplace conditions, manual handling, RIDDOR, COSHH
Wages/Payment, working hours, pensions, time off - sick, breaks, pregnancy, maternity and paternity leave, minimum wage
Resolving workplace problems - redundancy, dimissal, grievances, complaints, trade unions
Workforce and staff development - training

For all these points, the Skills for justice ERR workbook is a supportive read - you'll need to explore the equality act of 2010 which amalgamates many of the acts mentioned in the workbook.

I hope this helps, best wishes xx
