With key decisions expected to roll out from November into the new year, this episode offers insights for employers preparing for change.

    FSR Brief EP9: Motor Finance redress proposal – beginning of the end?

    The FSR Brief is back following an extended summer break, and top of the agenda is the FCA's proposal for a redress scheme which seeks to draw a line under the long running saga around the disclosure of motor finance commission. Jon Ford, Michael Tan, and Jack Moore discuss the scope of the scheme, what firms should be thinking about and what this means for the FCA's approach to redress more generally.

  8. Inside Safety (Australia) EP3: Directors' Duties - Part 1 in Inside Safety (Australia)

    8 OCT

    Inside Safety (Australia) EP3: Directors' Duties - Part 1 in Inside Safety (Australia)

    In part one of our Inside Safety podcast series exploring directors’ duties, Steve Bell, Aaron Anderson and Olga Klimczak delve into the evolving case law on responsibilities of officers under the Model Work Health and Safety laws and internationally. Through recent case law updates, the episode unpacks the key legal principles and explores the practical implications for directors. We analyse how directors can assess whether they’ve met their duty - by understanding the risks that occur within their business operations, applying appropriate resources, and verifying the effectiveness of controls. The discussion then offers practical insights into what reasonable steps look like, including the extent to which directors can reasonably rely on others within the business, and the importance of maintaining documentation as evidence of challenge and oversight. With regulators increasingly focused on senior leadership, this episode is a timely call to action for boards to move beyond paper obligations and engage meaningfully with safety governance.
