Will Acas Represent Me?

Acas will not act as your representative. We cannot take sides. But you can ask someone to represent you in early conciliation if you do not want to represent yourself. They can be a friend, relative or someone you work with.

Can ACAS represent me at a tribunal?

An ACAS officer is appointed to every potential Tribunal claim to “conciliate”, which means that they act as an independent go-between to help the parties to reach a settlement and avoid Tribunal hearings. The standard form on which a conciliator records an ACAS conciliation settlement is called a COT3.

Who do ACAS represent?
