Regulatory Agenda for June 2020 – Now available as a podcast

To help businesses keep track of updates in UK legislation and policies, VinciWorks regularly publishes a regulatory update. Since our last update in May, the government has released further guidance on getting back to work safely as and when each industry begins its efforts to get back to normal. Our regulatory agenda is now available as a podcast as well as a downloadable guide. You can listen to the latest episode here or find it on any podcast provider.

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has published back to work guidance to support businesses once an ease in lockdown measures is announced. Some service providers and businesses in the food and hospitality industries are trialing measures to return to work, such as offering delivery services. Some other measures include staggered shift patterns, regular screening protocols and the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE).

This edition of our regulatory agenda provides an overview of regulatory changes or new regulations recently passed, proposed, or on the agenda which are relevant to key compliance areas of VinciWorks’ clients in the UK. These include Acts of Parliament relating to COVID-19.

This edition of the regulatory agenda covers the following:

  • COVID-19 update – back to work guidance and government support schemes
  • EU developments
  • Bills before Parliament
  • Upcoming legislation
  • Current open consultations
  • Closed consultations
  • Key points of the Queen’s speech that are relevant to compliance
