Acas Early Conciliation Explained

Before most employment tribunal claims can be made, the claimant must first notify Acas about early conciliation. This course explains how the process works, how long it lasts, how it affects tribunal time limits (including the change to six months for most claims from 1 October 2026), and how agreements are recorded. It also covers the Labour Relations Agency in Northern Ireland.
