We understand that handling disciplinary cases and grievances can be very stressful and time-consuming. 

When staff take out grievance procedures it is very distressing for all concerned. You may be worried about breaking the law or being taken to an employment tribunal. You may need somebody to do an independent disciplinary investigation or come in to investigate a complaint that an employee has made under the grievance procedure. Our highly trained and sensitive staff can work with you to help you bring disciplinary and grievance procedures to a suitable resolution.
We also investigate allegations of bullying, harassment and discrimination.

We can help you at every stage of the process:

• advise you whether you should make a disciplinary suspension
• write on your behalf to staff who are suspended from work
• conduct disciplinary or grievance investigations for you
• help you produce disciplinary and grievance investigation reports
• attend disciplinary, grievance and appeal hearings to advise, or take minutes
• advise on whether dismissal is appropriate
• assist with drafting disciplinary and grievance letters and decisions
• dismissal during probationary periods
• manage gross misconduct dismissals
• manage appeals

We can investigate thoroughly and provide comprehensive reports into allegations of bullying, harassment and discrimination.  We are not highly prescriptive in our advice; we give you choices and let you know the risks.

Sometimes issues can be resolved – particularly in grievance situations – through mediation.  We have several certified mediators in our team.

Unfortunately, sometimes it is necessary to dismiss people and we can help you do this in a way that is fair and within the law. We can help you avoid those mistakes that are easy to make but can be disastrous in an Employment Tribunal.
