Scottish Engineering Mock Employment Tribunal Training

Experience the Tribunal Process Without the Risk.

Ever wondered what it’s like to be at an employment tribunal without being the one who is cross examined? Well, this training is for you. Our mock employment tribunal session, led by our experienced Legal and HR team, with contributions from other Scottish Engineering staff, bridges the gap between policy and practice, giving you a front-row seat to the employment tribunal process in a safe, supportive environment.

What to Expect:

You’ll observe a realistic simulation of an employment tribunal hearing through interactive videos which follow the full procedural flow from opening statements to cross-examination and final judgment. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into the roles and responsibilities of each party involved, including claimants, respondents, witnesses, legal representatives and the tribunal panel.

You’ll also have the opportunity to engage in critical reflection, ask questions and test your understanding of employment law and best practice.

Why It Matters:

Understanding how employment tribunals work is critical for HR professionals and managers because the stakes are high, both financially and reputationally. A single claim can cost an organisation thousands of pounds in compensation, legal fees and lost time, not to mention the impact on morale and brand reputation.

By gaining this insight, you’ll be better equipped to reduce risk, avoid costly mistakes and create a workplace culture that stands up to legal scrutiny. Ultimately, this knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions that protect both your organisation and your people

Invest in your professional development and gain practical insights that will protect your organisation and strengthen your decision-making.
