This blog is based on Judicium’s Employment Law ‘Sofa Session’ from 4th June, led by resident expert Paul Luffman, LLB (Hons), L.P.C. The session explored the current challenges in the UK labour market—from skills shortages to recruitment gaps—and how the education sector can play a key role in addressing them. It also examined the shift towards skills-based hiring and what that means for recruitment practices in schools.
