Urgent help

[Hocuspocuspreparatus]

Hello!

Anyone can point me into the direct direction? I did all by myself but its overwhelming and it’s killing me inside and its affecting my mental health. I worked for an GOV organisation and have experienced bullying, harassment, intimidation, discrimination, I have applied for flexible working which was denied within the last minute as I was asked to resign with immediate effect and my employment finished in 30 min. The HR denies my whistleblowing, only set up resolution meeting, now an investigation meeting with a deadline to close the case on Dec 10th. I submitted ET1 , the organisation did not respond and have the first hearing in June 2027. How can I get a free solicitor advice/help? Please, I am desperate as I cannot take it anymore, have nightmares and its to much for me

Thank you

I am afraid I don't have a clue on the employment law but for the emotional impact you need to be talking to someone. From the tone of your post remember that the samaritans are there 24 / 7 on 116123.

Have you spoken to ACAS at all?. If not it
might be worth calling them. Its a free service.

Do you have free legal cover through your home contents insurance? Member of a union?

Some Citizens Advice can help or at least give you some pointers and direct you to other sources of help.

Take a deep breath. You have time. The first hearing is 7 months away.

When an organisation pushes someone out on short notice like this they will often offer a settlement agreement - basically giving you some money and an agreed reference in return for which you agree not to take them to tribunal. If they do, they should offer to pay for a solicitor to review the agreement for you.

Also, as others have said, check your home insurance. If that includes legal cover, it is likely they will be able to help provide a solicitor.

Are you in a Union?
If not, ACAS.
