Disciplinary investigation at work

A disciplinary investigation is a fact-finding mission. No more and no less. The purpose is to find out on the balance of probabilities whether there is a case to answer. It should not be made into an exercise to find out whether you are guilty or not, or worse, to stack up evidence against you. Make sure that you exercise your right to be accompanied at all meetings and use the resources in this book to give you the confidence to defend yourself against the allegations effectively.

Receiving an ‘invitation’ to a disciplinary investigation is unpleasant. Particularly since it is a precursor to a disciplinary hearing if the investigation finds you potentially guilty of an offence.
