Chapter 1

Acas Early Conciliation

[ch 1: page 21]

The first step in any ET claim is to complete an Early Conciliation (EC) notification form, which is on the website of the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas): https://www.acas.org.uk/early-conciliation. This step is mandatory and must be taken before the expiry of the relevant claim deadline. Otherwise the claim is likely to be dismissed.
