All members of University staff should be treated fairly and with respect. There may be times when you are unhappy about the treatment that you have received or about any aspect of your work.
If attempts to resolve the situation informally have been unsuccessful, it may be appropriate for you to raise a formal grievance. Our procedures provide a fair and consistent way of dealing with situations where a formal grievance is raised.
All University procedures are underpinned by the principles of natural justice and the ACAS code of practice.

When an issue of alleged misconduct has been raised and you wish to ascertain if more formal action should be taken.
For example where there are concerns about a staff member’s poor performance, on receipt of a grievance or following a customer complaint.
For further guidance we recommend you speak to Ask HR and consult the guidance in the Investigations section of our Services A-Z.
