those who are accused have the rights to put their points of view, to confidentiality ,to be protected until the investigation is over, to be accompanied to any meetings either by a trade union official or a colleague, to be kept up to date about the investigations and informed of the outcomes and to support if needed :wave:

Hi

perhaps this will help you.

Protection of the accused party/parties:
• The manager/supervisor will assess whether it is necessary to protect the accused / accusers until the concerns have been investigated.
• The accused/accusers will be informed of the seriousness of the allegations of misconduct by their manager/supervisor they will also provide any supporting evidence.
• The accused or accusers will be advised in writing of the procedure to be followed.
• The accused/accusers will be given the opportunity to respond by a meeting or put their response in writing to the claims made against them and speak about any relevant evidence.
The accused/accusers will be given the opportunity to be accompanied by a representative of a trade union or a work colleague.
• They will be provided with support, counselling or mediation to those subject to investigation in order to resume normal working relationships as soon as possible.
