Disciplinary policy
This policy outlines the Council's approach to managing employee conduct. It applies to all employees, including school-based staff where adopted. The policy ensures fair, consistent, and prompt handling of misconduct, distinguishing it from issues of capability or genuine sickness. Managers are responsible for upholding conduct standards, and employees are expected to comply. The policy aligns with ACAS guidance and includes provisions for informal resolution, data protection, and monitoring. It is supported by related policies such as the Code of Conduct, Capability Policy, and Whistleblowing Policy.
