Roundtable: Employment Law vs Mental Health First Aid

In this focused roundtable, Paul McGregor will bring together employment law professionals to explore the growing legal risks surrounding Mental Health First Aid in the workplace.

Together, we’ll examine where current Mental Health First Aid strategies are falling short – and what businesses need to consider to ensure their approach is safe, compliant, and not just a well-intentioned tick-box exercise.

This session will cover:

• Where legal responsibility lies when Mental Health First Aid goes wrong

• The potential for employment tribunals, personal injury claims, and negligence cases

• The risks of vicarious liability and blurred role boundaries

• What a safe, sustainable and legally sound MHFA framework looks like in practice

• Shared insights from your peers in the session plus the chance to ask your biggest questions

The roundtable will begin with brief introductions before Paul facilitates an interactive conversation with all attendees.

This is an open conversation for professionals working at the intersection of employment law, HR, and workplace wellbeing – and for those ready to challenge the status quo to build safer, more responsible support systems for employees.
