Course description

Contesting and subsequently losing a discrimination case can be disastrous for an employer as it can have a huge impact on the reputation of the business. Employment and HR professionals should therefore maintain a working knowledge of this particularly sensitive area of employment law.


Alastair Hodge presents this live and interactive broadcast that provides practical guidance on the best ways to go about defending (and winning) discrimination claims.


It will summarise good HR practice that can limit potential claims, how to deal with claims when they are first presented to the Employment Tribunal, how to gather evidence in preparation for a hearing, and more.

Training Course Content

Introduction

In modern times, it remains the case that there is little stigma attached to an adverse finding of breach of contract or unfair dismissal against an employer. Indeed, even with the publication of all Employment Tribunal judgments online (as a matter of public record), most employers are happy to stomach such a finding.

In discrimination cases, however, the position is quite different. If an employer contests a discrimination case without settling it and subsequently loses, the adverse findings can have serious implications.

This virtual classroom seminar will provide solicitors, HR Professionals and employers with practical guidance on the best ways to go about defending (and winning) discrimination claims.

  • Good HR practice in the workplace so as to limit potential claims
  • Dealing with a claim when it is first presented to the Employment Tribunal and providing a robust response
