Employment Tribunals:

Employment Tribunal Judges have written and produced a series of videos to help you if you are bringing a claim to an Employment Tribunal or defending a claim that has been made against you. Some videos explain different parts of the tribunal procedure and some videos tell you about what might happen at a hearing.

PLEASE NOTE: The videos are for guidance only and are not a substitute for taking legal advice on an individual case. The contents of the videos were accurate at the time of recording (6 March 2026). We aim to keep the content up to date but employment law and procedure can change rapidly so please be mindful and carry out your own fact-checks if you are not sure.
