Forget ACAS, RM very rarely deal with them.

Get RM appeal in, they say 3 Days but Employment law says you have 5 days.

Get ET1 in ASAP.

DO NOT WAIT TO LODGE AN ET1.

Royal Mail will spin it out beyond the 3 month debarment limit.
It's an old trick.

You can always withdraw the ET1 if you win your appeal.

Definitely DON'T wait to submit an ET1

Don't forget that the new charges come in on 29 July both to submit a claim and for the hearing.

Get your ET1 in immediately.

The only advice I could give you is make sure you don't change your story as appeals managers will pick up on this but as you have admitted you committed offence your only hope is you come out with suspended dismissal and 2 year serious on your record. Your previous record to me is the thing that can save you. Good luck
