Time:
The exercise in this module can be completed in about 90 minutes. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing about 150 minutes for this module.
Aims:
• To enable participants to understand how investigations into an alleged disciplinary or grievance should be carried out.
Group Size:
This module is suitable for use with groups of up to about 25 participants.
Useful For:
All managers.
You'll Need:
• Copies of your internal investigating/disciplinary procedures if you are using these.
• Copies of the ACAS Code of Practice Disciplinary and Grievance Procedure if you are using this – available as a free download from http://www.acas.org.uk.
Notes:
In this module, participants carry out an investigation into an alleged disciplinary offence and make a decision about what to do next.
We recommend that you follow it up with the module Disciplinary Part 2
, which uses the same scenario and deals with what happens after the investigation is completed.
