Disciplinary Procedures
Phase One:
The trainer involved or Training staff must raise the issue of misconduct or behavior with the learner. This must be recorded and/ or reported to the Training Manager responsible for the area of provision. Information must be factual and free from judgments and personal comments. Documentation must be signed, dated and subject to confidentiality.
Phase Two:
- Where there is evidence of continued misconduct, the Training Manager will arrange to meet with the learner about their misconduct/behavior. They should be advised that they may wish to consider bringing someone along to the meeting to support them.
- Result of the meeting may include:
- Agreed actions (which will be recorded and kept on file for one year)
- Formal written warning will be kept on file for one year.
Phase Three:
- Where phase two is not followed, or gross misconduct re-occurs, the Training Manager must report directly to THD Management who will deal with the matter urgently.
- Written notification will be given to inform the learner in writing of:
- The allegation and evidence to substantiate the allegation.
- A request to hold a meeting giving the venue, time, and date of meeting
- The learner’s entitlement to have another person present. THD management will make its decisions known which may result in:
- No further action taken.
- The learner receives a final written warning.
- Further investigation takes place before a final decision is made.
- THD management will confirm decisions, and reasons for decisions, in writing to the learner within one week which will be implemented with immediate effect.
- The learner will have the right to appeal within one week from receipt of the decision stating any grounds for appeal. Any grounds for appeal will be considered, however, THD management’s decision is final.

- THD management will convene an appeal. The Training Manager who made the decision in the first stage of the procedure will be asked to present THD’s case and explain the reasons for the recommendation.
- The learner will be invited to explain the grounds of the appeal and state his or her case.
- THD management may ask questions of the learner and of the representative presenting the case and will then consider whether to allow or dismiss the appeal. Witnesses will normally be asked to be on call to answer any questions.
- If the appeal is allowed, THD management may decide on lesser disciplinary action, or no disciplinary action. If the appeal is dismissed, THD management will issue a statement confirming that the decision taken at the first stage of the procedure is upheld.
