Presented by HR expert Amanda Chadwick, this live webinar at 2pm on Monday 10 August will examine the proposed changes to the Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, and how the changes will affect employers. 

Register for the webinar at 2pm on Monday 10 August

All employers must follow the Code and it provides a framework for Employment Tribunals to use when deciding whether an employer has acted fairly. Getting it wrong can push up the compensation an employee is awarded.

The Acas Code review comes alongside the introduction of new unfair dismissal rules from January 2027 with the move to a six-month maximum probation period under the Employment Rights Act 2025, another major change for employers.

What will I learn at the webinar?

• The key proposed changes, and why Acas is making them now
• The new expectation for early, informal conversations on misconduct, performance and grievances
• What’s expected of employees raising a grievance, including being clear and succinct
• How the proposals address the use of AI in disciplinary and grievance processes
• Practical steps to prepare your HR processes ahead of the code being finalised
