Is ACAS Early Conciliation working?

Early conciliation is a free service offered by ACAS. It was previously available on a purely voluntary basis, however, from May 2014 it became mandatory to contact ACAS before lodging a claim. This was in an effort to encourage early engagement and settlement between the parties, thereby, removing the need to pursue claims in the Employment Tribunal. ACAS conciliation remains open to the parties thereafter, but on a voluntary basis.
