What is a protected conversation? In a nutshell, it is a special kind of off-the record discussion, protected from certain consequences by employment law. It often precedes a settlement agreement. Our Associate Solicitor Claire has written this blog to explain the term and when it is used.

If you have attended a confidential meeting with your employer, the terms ‘s111A’ and/or ‘protected conversation’ may have been used. Here, we explain the term, why employers use it, and when it will apply.
