Module Outline
TUPE can feel complex and intimidating, particularly for managers in SMEs who may only encounter it once or twice in their career. This module provides a clear, manager‑level understanding of TUPE, focusing on practical implications, communication, and employee support rather than legal detail.
In this module, we will explore:
- What TUPE is and the types of situations where it applies
- What transfers under TUPE, including employees, terms and continuity of service
- The responsibilities of managers during a TUPE process
- The importance of clear, timely and consistent communication and consultation
- Supporting employees through uncertainty and change
- Common misconceptions and mistakes around TUPE
By the end of this module, managers will be able to:
- Understand TUPE at a practical, high‑level
- Recognise their role in supporting a smooth employee transfer
- Communicate more confidently with employees during a TUPE process
Know when to escalate issues and seek specialist support
