Bullying and harassment

Undervalued

I had a similar situation though on the other end. When I questioned my employers regarding illegal dumping of hazardous materials on their estate, my previous employers spent an in ordinate amount of time doing their level best to accuse me of harassment, wrong doing, being poor at my job, using company vehicles for private use, and the list went on. They even coerced other employees to claim I had harassed them. Thankfully I had written, audio and video evidence to the contrary as I am a little anally retentive in keeping records.
I stupidly took them to Acas and quickly found I was personally out of my depth, legally. Even though I thought they are supposed to help you, to a degree, it is best to get legal representation. The person I worked for, is a billionaire hedge fund manager, and he had way more resources than I. I ended up dropping it even though I had more evidence and was clearly in the right, it took more time away from me finding a new and better job. It took a year to get over the 2 years of working hell, I went through, but have found a better job, better people to work for, and a better life. 

Maybe a fresh perspective and new job might be the best option, if you can go, rather than flight it?

As has to be pointed out on here regularly, ACAS are a neutral arbitration service and do not provide legal advice. Sadly all too often people mistakenly believe that the "advice" they receive from ACAS's initial call centre is a substitute for seeing a solicitor. It is not!

A good solicitor will assess your case after asking you some probing questions. They will advise you, based obviously on what you have told them, whether you have a viable case. If so they will advise you, within the law, how best to proceed to your maximum advantage.
