Starting a discrimination claim: Completing the ET1

<p>Acas is an independent body with several roles. One of its roles is to try to get you and your employer to reach a settlement about your dispute, before you make your claim or, if you have already made your claim, before it reaches the hearing stage.</p> <p>Conciliation is a process through which Acas acts as a channel through which you can speak to your employer about your dispute, so that you don&rsquo;t have to speak to them or their representatives directly.</p> <p>Acas acts neutrally during this process; it cannot give you, or your employer, advice about the strength or weakness of your claim, or of your employer&rsquo;s defence of the claim.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/adviser/starting-a-discrimination-claim-completing-the-et1-6ae5eef95469"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
