Event Summary

The Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 has reshaped the UK’s rules on automated decision-making. From 5 February 2026, Article 22 was replaced by Articles 22A–22D, moving from a general restriction on automated decisions to a safeguards-led regime that gives organisations greater flexibility.

The focus is now on implementation. The ICO has launched a consultation on its draft automated decision-making guidance, open until May 2026.

Join Westminster Insight’s Automated Decision-Making (ADM) in Recruitment Conference on 22nd July 2026 to gain practical insight and policy guidance on applying ADM in recruitment. As automated decision-making becomes increasingly embedded in the workplace, understand how to use it responsibly.

Explore how ADM can be applied across the recruitment lifecycle, from CV screening to candidate ranking and retention, and assess which tools are most suitable for your organisation’s needs.

Gain insight into improving hiring efficiency and candidate experience, while meeting compliance obligations and managing risk. Learn how to design and implement ADM systems that meet regulatory expectations and build confidence across teams including when human review is required. Ensure staff can clearly explain how ADM is used, communicate decision-making processes, and handle data protection complaints and review requests with confidence.

Understand your legal obligations under the DUAA, including how to rely on legitimate interests and apply key safeguards such as fairness, transparency, and the right to challenge. Explore the benefits of ADM, including faster hiring, improved efficiency in high-volume recruitment, and better candidate matching and retention, alongside key risks such as bias and the handling of sensitive data. Learn from best-practice case studies of organisations successfully implementing ADM while addressing these challenges.

Whether you are shaping hiring strategy, advising on regulatory compliance, or building recruitment technology across the public, private, or third sector, join us for a full day of networking, expert insight, and practical learning to help you scale ADM in recruitment.
