Epilogue

Lawyers love disclaimers. So, here’s ours. Sistren Legal Collective conceptualised, commissioned and resourced the development of this toolkit as an educational resource, consistent with our ethos of redistributing legal knowledge. It’s written for informational and educational purposes and has relied on the employment law expertise of an external employment law expert.

Sistren Legal Collective, Spark and a world without cannot provide any legal advice on employment-related matters and is unfortunately not able to provide legal advice or support on the topics included within this toolkit. Please refer to the checklist of resources available here for signposting and support.

This toolkit is not legal advice, and you shouldn’t rely on it alone to make legal decisions or to take legal action. You may well need legal advice specifically tailored to your circumstances. Sistren Legal Collective is not responsible for any liability, direct or indirect, for damages or loss arising from any use of or reliance on any data or information within
this toolkit.

Laws and regulations change. In particular, employment law in the UK has undergone several changes recently and is continuing to evolve. This toolkit does not purport to be comprehensive, and its contents will inevitably go out of date.
We’ve simplified content where possible and prioritised clarity and usefulness over technical precision, and we ask that you read this toolkit as an informative and educational resource in that spirit.

Sistren Legal Collective is committed to open-sourcing the resources we develop, so that community leaders, groups, and activists can fully benefit from our work.
