People need access to the law more than ever to protect their #workplace rights. I start today at Bellevue Law to further focus my work on #employment #discrimination and advocate for a legal system where everyone can be heard:

@Nature @sarahemilywild If an employer asked for a reference, for example, a former institution could state that the person had been dismissed for misconduct. As things stand, neither party is required to request or provide such information and the new institution might not know to ask @GeorginaCLee
Krzysztof Potempa@BRAINCURES

@Nature @sarahemilywild Employment law specialist Calvert-Lee @GeorginaCLee suggests that institutions should ask former employers to disclose the number of misconduct findings against a potential employee, or whether there were any outstanding investigations when the person left nature.com/articles/d4158…

Pleased to have been quoted in this excellent article by Katie Tarrant⁦. This case is v important for clearing up confusion over whether a Uni owes students a duty of care, and underlining the importance of a fair investigation. ⁦@ProtectED_HEIthetimes.co.uk/article/drama-…

Looking forward to this docu series, throwing fresh light on campus culture. Glad to have been interviewed for it too, to share insights gained over years at the coal face of representing students whose sexual misconduct claims have been mishandled. @1752Group @UKCultureShift

Lengthening the time for bringing an employment claim would be an important reform that lawyers have been calling for for years too. @SuzanneMcKieQC @rightsofwomen There is no reason why a victim of a pub brawl should have 3 years and a victim of discrimination only 3 months!

Fantastic session with Dame Sharon White, discussing the role of mentors in achieving your best at work, and the need for flexibility at work and shared domestic burdens. Last point: choose your partner well! #womeninworksummit2023

If the UK were to eradicate the gender pay gap, the UK’s economy would grow by £6 trillion per Ian Elliot of PWC. Equality benefits all stakeholders, and helps achieve and grow the bottom line. #womeninworksummit2023

Interesting cross-party ministerial discussion on the barriers to equal treatment at work facing women: women are not a minority yet they still have to shoehorn themselves into a work world made for and by men. @rightsofwomen #womeninwork2023

Very important ruling. The impact & consequence of mental health injury can far outstrip physical injury, and so should be accorded more prominence and recognition in all types of cases. The damages you can win for lifelong psychiatric harm is quite derisory at present. @EVAWuk
EmilyTest@Emilytest12

A landmark ruling that Kellie Sutton was unlawfully killed even though she took her own life, linking domestic abuse directly to her Suicide Like Kellie’s family & others, we will never stop fighting for the justice our darling daughter Emily deserves 💔 m.youtube.com/watch?v=idzLAi…

Aren’t victims of modern slavery often victims of human trafficking too, which also often uses illegal means of bringing them to the UK. If so, it seems ridiculous to exclude these victims from support. Thanks for flagging this @shaistaAziz #illegalmigrationbill. @centreWJ
Shaista Aziz 💙@shaistaAziz

.@OxfordCity is a signatory to open letter to the Home Secretary highlighting concerns about modern slavery clauses in #IllegalMigrationBill. The Bill states modern slavery support provisions will be disapplied to victims of human trafficking, arriving in UK via irregular routes.

In case you missed the launch of @anna_bull_ and @Erin_R_Shannon’s report on Higher Ed after #MeToo, you can catch up on YouTube. Great to be part of a vibrant discussion with @deebasyed (@rightsofwomen) @oiahe and @acasorguk with astute questions from attendees. @ProtectED_HEI
Dr Anna Bull she/her@anna_bull_

The video of my report launch event is now up on Youtube. The panel discussion with key experts @deebasyed @GeorginaCLee @oiahe and @acasorguk was extremely rich if you're interested in how institutions handle formal reports (from about 40 mins in). youtube.com/watch?v=u1sUj6…

The law banning intimate image abuse has not improved since my client @ChrissyChambers successfully settled her landmark claim. The crime should not require an intention to cause distress. The victim is hurt regardless of the perp’s intention. #IntimateImageAbuse @NotYourPorn
Prof Clare McGlynn KC (Hon)@McGlynnClare

Another form of #IntimateImageAbuse yet to be criminalised - groups of men sharing intimate photos to boost their status & bond with other men: ‘I have moments of shame I can’t control’: the lives ruined by explicit ‘collector culture’ theguardian.com/world/2022/jan…
