I have to agree, I have picked up the pieces following some shocking advice from ACAS. The main issue I find is that they tend to present their advice as definitive, when of course the law is anything but - for instance, telling a call centre worker that home working and flexi time would be reasonable adjustments, when in the given circumstances they most certainly were not. In another case an employer was told there was no need to attend a preliminary hearing - this would have cost him thousands had he followed their advice.

ACAS are fine for the absolute basics, but I would be weary of referring someone there for anything more.

Tom. Pleased to see that you have now finally learned to be a wee bit less troll like.

Re above. I repeat. If any MSE member really has a legitimate and genuine complaint re a service provided by ACAS then please raise such concerns in accordance with the following :

T Tom - you make a passing reference to "grievances" re ACAS, but do not particularise. If you are able to spell out the actual facts and circumstances in sufficient detail then pl send the same to the above link. You could then publish the reply received, preferably unfettered, on a new thread (i.e. please do not clutter this thread). Thank you.

Agree Getmore .... well at least re the employment aspects.

I should have have been clearer. Unless I am mistaken, the somewhat muddled part relates to the apparent criminal aspects and (understandable) paucity of related facts and circumstances.

In hindsight confusing may well have been a poor choice of word ; messy may have been more apt.

As per the infamous Maria Miller HoC's quote .... please accept my unreserved apology lol

Also, check the letter detailing the suspension,, which would outline the OP's obligations whilst suspended and possible consequences - disciplinary action for breaching the contents of the letter. This provided the employer has followed best practice of course!!
