Raising an issue
An employee may use our grievance policy and procedure to make a complaint if they consider that they have:
- been unlawfully discriminated against based on any of the protected characteristics
- a complaint involving alleged bullying or harassment
Alternatively employees may raise issues in confidence with a senior officer in HR services by email.
A member of the public may use our complaints policy for similar complaints.
Employee support
We have some employee networks in place. In addition, there are management groups that review and consider matters about diversity and inclusion. These groups include but are not limited to:
- LGBT staff
- disability staff engagement group
- black and minority ethnic staff network
- corporate diversity steering group
- people strategy engagement group
All employees are encouraged to engage with the employee networks and activities during working time. This includes attending monthly meetings and taking part in events.
