The new Workplace Complaints procedure is now live! 

This procedure applies to all employees, both operational and corporate. It replaces the previously used Grievance and Bullying and Harassment policies.

The purpose of the new procedure is to ensure that everyone has a route to raise complaints in the workplace, whether that’s in relation to working practices or working relationships. The Service recognises that issues can arise for anyone at any time during their employment, and that whatever the issue, all parties have the right to respect, support and fairness whilst being involved in a complaint’s process.
