Get Ready for the New ACAS Code

Featuring Amanda Chadwick, Employment Law Expert

Getting ahead of the new ACAS Code

The ACAS Code consultation puts manager training front and centre, and sound policies alone won't protect you if managers aren't equipped to handle disciplinary and grievance cases fairly and correctly. In this webinar, employment law expert Amanda Chadwick works through exactly what's changing, why manager competence is now under real scrutiny, and what to put in place before it's too late.

What we’ll cover

• What's changing under the new ACAS Code, and what it means for your business
• The new push for resolving issues informally first, and when it doesn't apply
• New rules on documentation and suspension, what you'll need to record and when suspension is justified
• How the new mediation option works, and where it can (and can't) be used
• Manager training and compensation risk, and why manager competence is under the spotlight

What you’ll gain

By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:

• Understand what's changing under the new ACAS Code
• Handle disciplinary and grievance cases correctly under the new rules
• Apply the new requirements around documentation, suspension, and mediation
• Put the right safeguards in place before a dispute reaches a tribunal
• Answer the questions your managers and leadership team are bringing to you
