Any successfully appealed redundancy due to process?

[HushTheNoise]

Hi, anyone any experience of challenging redundancy due to poor process. We have not been told what the alternatives the board/ SMT has considered.
Not that anyone currently wants to stay after being treated so badly but many people will find it financially very hard.

Yes love, poor process is absolutely grounds to challenge. They're legally required to show they've considered alternatives to redundancy, consulted properly, and applied fair selection criteria. If they've skipped steps or can't evidence what alternatives were explored, that weakens their position significantly. Get everything in writing, ask formally what alternatives were considered and why they were rejected, and contact ACAS for free advice. If there are several of you affected, consider pushing back together as a group, there's strength in numbers and it's harder to ignore.

Thanks, they appear to be saying they have done everything but they won't let us know the alternatives that were considered. I'll probably leave anyway even if it gets overturned but other colleagues desperately need the work. I've not fully looked at acas so will do that.

Yes, from both sides. To be honest, all youre doing is asking them to follow process. It wont necessarily (or even likely) change the outcome. What do you want to achieve? Do you have an alternative proposal?

I'm not sure what we want to achieve. Maybe a acknowledgement that they were wrong but trust has been lost so most people will be looking elsewhere. Unfortunately it's pretty hard to get anything else. It's given me the kick to do something different but others aren't fortunate to have a buffer.
