Dealing with HR issues, without professional support is time-consuming and challenging for business owners
The Dafferns HR Package
Powered by The HR Dept (South Warwickshire), Dafferns HR Support offers a comprehensive range of Human Resource services for a competitive monthly fee, removing the stress of handling HR issues and ensuring compliance with ever-changing employment law. Contracts are for 12 months, so there are no lengthy tie-ins.
The service spans three key areas – Compliance, Advice and Guidance and Employment Protection:
Compliance – Key Benefits
- We keep you ‘up to date’ and legally compliant with current employment law, freeing up your time to focus on your business
Compliance – Key Features
- Review of existing contract of employment template and/or the creation of bespoke template to suit the needs of your business
- Bespoke company handbook that reflects your ‘culture and values’
- Preparation of legally compliant letters to support the advice we give
- To ensure compliance with GDPR regulations, we provide an up-to-date Data Protection policy, Data Breach policy, Subject Access Request policy, and Privacy statement
- Automatic updates to documentation as legislation changes and reviewed annually as standard
Advice and Guidance – Key Benefits
- A service that feels like you have your own in-house HR specialist but at the fraction of the cost of employing directly. We get to know and understand your business, giving you the confidence to make informed decisions to support your plans
Advice and Guidance – Key Features
- Unlimited access to your own dedicated HR consultant, supported by a wider specialist team

Employment Protection – Key Features
- Market leading Tribunal Indemnity Insurance providing up to £250,000 of cover per claim, to include representation at tribunal, and/or ACAS conciliation
- If a claim proceeds to tribunal, we will defend the claim, and all representation costs will be covered by your insurance policy. If an award of compensation is made against you in a tribunal, this will be covered by your policy (Full details available on request, terms may be subject to risk profile)
- There are no ‘prospects of success’ clauses, which allows us to be less risk adverse and commercial. As long as you seek and follow our advice at the start of an issue, you are protected
- Breathe HR, a web-based HR and personnel management system to streamline your HR administration, fully compliant with ISO 12700 standards
- A site visit for a face-to-face annual review of HR ‘Policies and Procedures’ to ensure they are fit for purpose

- Investigation and appeal hearings
- Restructures and redundancy processes
- Recruitment interviews, Learning & Development needs and employee surveys
