Join this session to understand how you as an adviser can support the businesses you work with to develop and refine their Brexit plan.

10:30-11:15: Prepare your business for Brexit – food and drink; farming; fisheries; waste, chemicals and trade: Join this session with The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) to hear important information on the urgent actions that your business should take to get ready for Brexit. Defra representatives will be happy to hear about and discuss any issues affecting businesses, answer questions or provide routes to more detailed information and policy experts as required.

10:30-11:00: Employers of EU citizens: If your business employs EU citizens, you may wish to communicate with them about continuing to live and work in the UK after Brexit. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens, and their families, can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021. At this session the Home Office will help you understand what the EU Settlement Scheme means for employers and the support available to you.

11:05-11:35: Data and Brexit: Personal data is regularly used in the daily running of organisations: HR, sales, purchasing, marketing. Your organisation almost certainly uses personal data in its daily operations and if you can’t access it that may disrupt your work. Join this session for an introduction to personal data transfers and a guide to the actions you need to take to ensure continued legal transfers of personal data after we leave the EU.
