Taylor Employment Practices Review Comes to Belfast

Matthew and the review’s expert panel have launched their nationwide tour, with cities including Glasgow, Norwich, Cardiff, Belfast and Newcastle among those being visited to collect evidence and build an understanding of how people work in different parts of the country.
