Acas Reviews 

I recently attended the ACAS webinar - Reasonable Adjustments: How to Get Them Right. This was an hour long webinar. The content was perfect; with a combination of informative slides and case studies. The presenters were very efficient and everything ran very smoothly and professionally. I look forward to attending my next ACAS webinar soon.

Whilst the course sounded interesting and like it would be helpful in the workplace, it was too basic.
It always feels really awkward when its explained how a webinar works, how to download handouts, and use online platform, as businesses use these platforms every day.

Excellent training about reasonable adjustments - useful, up-to-date information with case studies and examples.

really informative session, excellent overview with real examples and take home messages. This was my first acas webinar I will be recommending them and also coming back for more myself.

Exellent delivery and valid information
I have previously attended a similar training for people with disabilities however this is more personalised to staffing or employee which i found very informative and supportive to our staff and organisation as a whole

Very well presented information provided by ACAS on a webinar for Reasonable Adjustments: How to get them right. Very much aimed towards the employers and would be nice to have something similar for employees to attend, Im not sure if this is already available or not.

Informative, easy to follow and interactive session on reasonable adjustments. Very helpful content

When calling the helpline on 0300 123 1100, they wait 10 minutes before the automated response says that any enquiries regarding Early Conciliation/Employment Tribunals won't be heard, and people should hang up. A dreadful, unclear statement which sums up the fundamentally unhelpful experience. The first time I called, the advisor said he coudln't provide any advice. Imagine that. Very absurd. Clearly just a competency exercise for DBT. You might as well just contact your union or get a private solicitor, unless you have time to waste.

Basic but useful, well presented

ACAS provided a well-structured and informative introduction to managing sickness related absence. This was the perfect primer for someone in a new managerial position, with plenty of guidance on where to look for further training and support. Highly recommended.

Clear and updated information regarding the effective management of sickness absence.

I called ACAS today about some advice on problems that I've been having on and off since 2023. I'll admit that I don't know the full ins and outs of what ACAS does, but I basically got a lot of I don't know and you need to speak to a solicitor. They have advice on their website, yet they can't discuss it over the phone. For example, for a disciplinary hearing, their website advises to contact my employer to request evidence before the hearing. I mentioned to them that there needs to be reform and ACAS should be offering advice right across the board. I can only say that it's been a useless experience, but I should've known better because I called them around 8 years ago and it was the same back then. I won't be calling them again.

The accent of the instructor was very strong and they were leaning forward so it was not possible to read the lips as well. The instructor did not let us know that they are changing the topic, this happened many times. Same slide was on the screen but I noticed that they are talking about completely different topics. I prefer to have clear guidelines written on the slide so I can relate what they are talking to those. talking on a topic for 40 min is not a good way of teaching while we do not know the context. Case studies done in the groups were helpful. However, I could not draw a conclusion about what to do about each of those cases.

Very concise & helpful

I have attended a number of ACAS webinars & training sessions recently and they have all been really useful. The presenters are clear & easy to follow and the slides are easy to convert into written notes for my future reference.

Thank you

I'm so glad ACAS free webinars exist. Going through the FAQs is invaluable, I learned so much!

Excellent Chat function and questions really thorough.

I have been watching the free webinars from ACAS recently, and they are very informative. They serve a good purpose. Attendees can then choose to attend full (paid) training, after gaining an insight on various topics, through these free webinars.

This was a well organised and informative session. The brevity was appreciated as key points immediately stood out.
