Aim
The aim of the disciplinary skills training course is for participants to understand how the Employment Act 2008 places greater emphasis on the employer to ensure disciplinary issues are dealt with in accordance with new statutory procedures and guidelines. The ACAS Codes of Practice states: "Those responsible for using and operating the disciplinary rules, including managers at all levels, should be trained for the task".
This course is intended for any manager or supervisor tasked with carrying out the disciplinary procedure. It builds confidence and de-mystifies the process into easy-to-follow steps. Discover how to structure an effective and easy-to-implement disciplinary process that adheres to UK employment disciplinary procedure, understand how UK employment law is interpreted and how to prepare for, and deliver, the disciplinary interview and result.
