Grievance Procedure

The purpose of our Grievance procedure is toprovide employees with a readily accessible procedure for addressing any problems or concerns they may have at work.

This procedure should not replace normal cross team dialogue, however where such informal dialogue has failed to resolve an issue of concern then an employee may utilise this procedure in an effort to have an issue resolved.

A three-step procedure will be followed to ensure that employee complaints or problems receive full and careful attention which will take the following format.

• Informal Discussion

• Formal Procedure

• Appeal

You have the right to be accompanied at meetings by a colleague.

Where a grievance concerns a matter of public interest, the Whistleblowing policy provides the procedure that should be followed.

Full details of the Grievance procedure can be found in the Grievance Policy.
