Details

This statutory Code of Practice revises an existing Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) Code on requests for flexible working published in June 2014. The intention is that the revised Code will be brought into force alongside changes to the legal framework around the right to request flexible working in April 2024.

The explanatory memorandum sets out the purpose, wider context and the potential impact of the legislation.
