Hi Hayley
Congratulations on your first post! and also on working your way through to your last assignment. In terms of ELW submission the most successful assignments I see are where particpants have planned their wordcount i.e not utilised large amounts of this for the first couple of questions and then skimped on the final questions. Also succinctness is your friend, you need to get to the point and only include content which contributes to answering the question. In addition that it is underpinned with plenty of case law and also legislation (using the correct name and also ensuring that the date is included).
A good resource is your friend here and I always recommend Selwyn's Employment Law to my particpants make sure you get the most recent copy and if you have access to a library you will probably find a copy there. That said I continued to use Selwyn during my entier HR career. You may also have access to some useful resources such as XpertHR or PLC through your work perhaps? ACAS can be a good source but I sometimes personally find this a little light on detail, and again personally I would not recommend gov.uk website as I have found this at times to be inaccurate and out of date.
Another good tip is to speak with HR people within your organisation as they would be able to give you a good insight how bullying complaints and substance misuse issues are dealt with within the workplace.
It would be great of folks who have completed their ELW assignment could share with Hayley and others what worked well or not so well for them.
I hope this helps!
