Judicial review is a process that allows individuals to challenge the lawfulness of decisions or actions taken by public authorities and government bodies. This process ensures that public authorities are held accountable and transparent. Judicial review is a very expensive process and is a legal process that should never be commenced lightly.

Risk assessments are systematic evaluations of potential hazards and risks in a workplace or any other environment. They involve identifying and assessing potential risks to the health, safety, and well-being of individuals, including employees, visitors, and the general public.
Risk assessments are vital for preventing accidents, injuries, and illnesses in the workplace. By identifying hazards and implementing appropriate control measures, risks can be mitigated or eliminated, creating a safer environment for everyone involved.
Regularly reviewing and updating risk assessments enables organisations to adapt to changes in work practices, technologies, or regulations.
In the UK, employers have legal obligations to provide health and safety training and information to their employees. The specific requirements can vary depending on the nature of the work and the risks involved.
If employees are engaged in specialised or high-risk activities, additional training may be necessary. This can include training on operating machinery, working at heights, handling hazardous substances, or using specific equipment. Health and safety guidelines should also be in place in an office or business environment.
Health and safety training should be regularly reviewed and updated as necessary. Refresher training should be provided to employees to ensure they remain competent and up-to-date with relevant health and safety practices.
