The total number of potential tribunal claims for pregnancy-related detriment or dismissal notified to Acas under the early conciliation scheme by individuals in 2014-15 was 1,851. Of these:<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

· 308 were settled by Acas at early conciliation stage and recorded on a COT3 settlement document;<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

· 545 progressed to a tribunal claim being taken, 264 of which were subsequently settled on an Acas COT3 following further conciliation;<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

· 998 were not settled through Acas, but did not progress to a tribunal case.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

An additional 18 notifications were made by employers. Seventeen of these were settled by Acas and the other was neither settled nor progressed to a tribunal.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government does not have data on the number of private settlements which settled claims before reaching a tribunal. The independently commissioned survey of early conciliation (a sample across all jurisdictions) found that 61 per cent of claimants (and their representatives) who did not settle but decided not to submit a tribunal claim reported that Acas was a factor in their decision.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Please note: (i) The jurisdictional provided to Acas is only indicative based on the information given by the prospective claimant; (ii) Counted individually there were a total of 1,882 notifications which means that a small number of claimants notified against more than one respondent.<\/ins><\/p>
