  • What is a disciplinary investigation?

    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 is not an exercise to find out whether you are guilty or not. 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 effectively.

Disciplinary investigations can be carried out in a variety of situations, and not just in disciplinary action. Investigations happen where there are issues about;

  • Capability
  • Bullying and harassment
  • Absence
  • Grievances
  • Whistleblowing allegations

You continue to have employment rights during the investigation.  The ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures applies to any matters relating to discipline. Your employer has a legal duty to be reasonable and use a fair procedure. The ACAS Guide gives directions on what it is to act reasonably and fairly, and the duties are further developed by the Courts and Tribunals in case law. We have distilled the case law principles for you so that you can easily apply them to your personal situation.
