General guidance

New Acas guidance: How to handle collective redundancies, was published in April 2013 and is available to download from the Acas website.

The Acas Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievanceprocedures (2009) (see Chapter 10: Dismissal) does not apply to ordinary redundancy consultation meetings. However, it does apply to individual grievance meetings about the redundancy process alleging, for example, discriminatory treatment or unlawful selection.
