High standards of professional behaviour and conduct are essential for the maintenance of a good working environment for all. Where action is taken, it should be applied consistently and fairly in every case, with proper and proportionate warning.
Any concerns should be dealt with as they arise, informally if possible and without recourse to the formal procedure. Guidance is available to support this.
If formal action is considered or if informal action is not possible because of the seriousness of the issue, this should be addressed with advice from People and Culture.
