ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures

The ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures provides guidelines for employers and employees on handling workplace issues fairly. It encourages transparent processes, clear communication, and respecting rights during discipline and grievances. The aim is to resolve problems promptly and fairly, promoting good working relationships, and ensuring decisions are made consistently and reasonably. While following the code isn't legally mandatory, employment tribunals may consider it when judging if procedures were handled correctly. Overall, it helps create a balanced approach to managing workplace conflicts and maintaining a positive employment environment.
