So I just searched for 'acas helpline and the first result I got was this: 
You really have to be quite alert to realise that this isn't a service being offered by @acasorguk but is in fact a page for 'employers direct'
There is some serious SEO going on there with Employers Direct jamming references to the @acasorguk Code of Practice into every possible sentence. Employers Direct is an intermediary of our friends at Peninsula (cant send you to their Tweeter feed as they blocked me years ago)
Oh and a search for 'Acas Code of Practice' sent me to this page for an organisation called Employers Advice which seems to have very much the same idea
Note the testimonial from someone called Debbie Parrish. I'm sure the testimonial is real - who would be dishonest about that sort of thing? - but the photo isn't. The file seems to be called 'stock testimonial' - I wonder if the real Debbie Parrish knows about that?
Anyway Employers Advice is an intermediary for Croner Group who of course are now owned by Peninsula.
All this of course is perfectly above board and proper. To see just how proper it is I'd urge everyone interested in #ukemplaw to type 'Acas' into their search engine of choice and click on all the paid adverts from Peninsula intermediaries that appear at the top of the page.
I think that would be a productive use of everyone's time.
