Workplace Culture & Compliance
Understanding the Disciplinary Process
Online course
CareCPD accredited
Included with Nest Learn
Most staff only learn how a disciplinary process works when they are already in one, which is the worst possible moment. This course explains the standards of conduct you are held to, the difference between misconduct and gross misconduct, and what actually happens at each stage — suspension, investigation, hearing, penalty and appeal.
Scenarios put you in the position of someone called to an investigatory meeting so the process is familiar rather than frightening.
