About this event

Celebrate the achievements of 2025, recognise our nominated HR students, and hear from Donna Reynolds, Legal Director, Kennedys Law LLP.

We will start with a welcome from our Branch Chair, Margaret-Ann Love, who will talk us through the highlights of 2025 and give a brief look ahead to our 2026 events.

Donna will then deliver a practical presentation on how to handle investigative situations where you have one employee’s word against another.

We will be using the winter celebration to present prizes to our students and finish with some networking.

Refreshments will be provided.

The event is sponsored by Kennedy’s Law and The CIPD.
