The Worker Protection Act 2023
VinciWorks
The Worker Protection Act 2023 comes into force on 26 October 2024, imposing a new, proactive duty on all employers across the UK to take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. With at least 1 in 5 men and nearly half of all women experiencing sexual harassment at work, this new compliance duty is an important step employers must prepare for. The new “preventative duty” shifts beyond reacting to complaints and requires employers to take steps to prevent harassment from occurring in the first place. Critically, the meaning of reasonable steps will vary from company...

AI regulation in the UK, EU and rest of the world
VinciWorks
The pace of AI regulation is heating up. From the monumental AI Act passed by the EU, countries and states around the world adopting copycat laws, to commitments by the new UK government to better regulate artificial intelligence. Regulators and legislators are racing to ensure they are not left behind by the AI revolution, and can levy ever larger fines on companies who get things wrong. As companies and industries race to ensure they are AI-ready, the cost of a compliance failure is ticking up. With potential fines that could dwarf GDPR, getting it wrong when rolling out AI technology could...

GDPR – Six years on
VinciWorks
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has now been in force for six years. During that time, fines have totalled billions of euros, with over €1 billion in fines coming in the past 12 months. The most recent fines show that both large and small businesses are subject to regulators’ scrutiny. With fines and enforcement actions, developments in GDPR case law and new challenges of AI, data protection remains one of the most complex areas of compliance. Despite best efforts, many organisations are still falling short when it comes to getting GDPR right. In this podcast, we...

Making your organisation more neurodiversity friendly
VinciWorks
Neurodiversity is becoming more understood as a workplace issue. As many as 1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent, meaning that organisations that fail to meet the needs of their neurodivergent staff and clients are neglecting a significant demographic. Although there are challenges associated with these differences, there are also many strengths. At the same time, failing to make workplaces inclusive of neurodiversity is an increasing risk. Over a hundred cases of neurodiversity discrimination were taken to employment tribunals last year, with almost none the year before. ...

Getting to grips with proliferation financing one year on
VinciWorks
Since 1 April 2023, all firms in the regulated sector have been required to carry out proliferation financing (PF) risk assessments. This applies to all regulated entities, from law firms to financial services, casinos to cryptocurrency. Regulated entities can create a new risk assessment on proliferation financing or incorporate PF risks into existing AML and terrorist financing risk assessments. However, regulators expect firms to take action to understand the risk of PF and how to mitigate it in their business. Failing to do so can result in a breach of the Money Laundering Regulations. ...
