Our training team put together a mock Employment Tribunal to help business owners, managers and HR practitioners better understand and prepare for these situations.
One of the attendees at this presentation was from a reserve cadet force. They were facing a six day employment tribunal claim for disability discrimination.
They found the presentation to be insightful and it really helped them understand how the process works and what they should prepare for.
Shortly after the presentation, they asked if our team could help them with witness familiarisation training for the tribunal.
Four witnesses attended our three hour training session. We prepared them for cross-examination and we also took them to watch a real employment tribunal case.
After the training, all four witnesses said they had a better understanding of the process and felt more confident to answer possible questions accurately.
The training Irwin Mitchell gave us was intensive but it really helped us prepare for the tribunal. Being able to watch an actual tribunal hearing also gave us a lot of confidence in what to expect and how the process works. I would highly recommend this training for anyone facing a tribunal hearing.” – Trainee, witness familiarisation course
