I'm currently working for a company as a Fixed Term Employee, which from my understanding means I should receive the same benefits as those who are permanent. However, I've just received an email from my line manager (directly written to me) to say that temps/contractors (which I'm not) are no longer entitled to things such as working from home and learning and development funding, and that they're exclusively for permanent employees going forward.

I know that this is not legal, and they're suddenly making this change mid-contract (my contract states I'm eligible for these funds and all the other standard things such as pensions etc).

How can I best approach this issue without putting myself at risk of not getting my contract renewed? (The HQ is based abroad so they might not understand UK law fully!)
