| Disciplinary Policy |
| Written by Deputy Director of Workforce | ||||
|
The policy applies to all staff employed by the Trust except medical and dental staff to whom the Conduct, Capability, Ill Health and Appeals Policies and Procedures for Practitioners (Doctors and Dentists), applies. For staff who are required to maintain current registration with a professional body, (such as nurses, midwives and allied health professionals), disciplinary issues may be reported to the appropriate professional body such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council or Health Professions Council if appropriate. This policy is intended to cover acts of misconduct. The Performance and Capability Policy deals with concern regarding insufficient performance. The Sickness Absence Policy deals with sickness absence. In the case of disciplinary action against employees who accredited trade union representatives, a full-time official of the union or organisation should be contacted by a Workforce & OD manager at an early stage and allowed to accompany the employee at any investigatory interviews and disciplinary hearings if the employee wishes. Nothing in this policy affects employees’ legal rights or employers’ legal responsibilities.
