Decision details

The Director of People, under the Scheme of Delegation to Officers, is asked to approve the following minor amends:

(1) Code of Conduct for Employees - an amendment to paragraph 14 to make it clear that being arrested or under investigation by the police also needs to be disclosed in addition to any criminal charges/convictions and cautions.

(2) Disciplinary Policy and Procedure - that the wording of the section covering Criminal Matters (Including Fraud) is amended to make it clear that being arrested or under investigation by the police also need to be notified to management as soon as possible in addition to being charged, cautioned, or convicted of a criminal offence.

The proposed amends have been shared with and noted by the recognised trade unions at the Joint Negotiating and Consultative Forum.

Lucy Thompson, Director of People, took the decision to approve the minor amends to the Code of Conduct for Employees and the wording of the Disciplinary Policy and Procedure.
