ChangesAdapted 16 September 2026: rebuilt the paired Word and OpenDocument source as a neutral blank DOCX and searchable PDF; retained the source wording, bracketed guidance, field order, lists and tables; normalized layout and whitespace; removed Acas visual identity, source styling, source links, images, custom XML, attached templates and personal or document-history metadata; and added concise UK-use, licence and no-endorsement notices.
