Why this script is necessary

A disciplinary hearing script template is a guide that outlines the basic structure and content of a disciplinary hearing. The script should be tailored to the specific circumstances of the hearing, but typically includes the following elements:

  • Introductions.
  • Presentation of evidence.
  • Employee response.
  • Deliberation.
  • Conclusion.

It is important to ensure that the disciplinary hearing script template is fair, consistent, and in compliance with any applicable laws.

  • Employment Rights Act 1996: Provides guidelines on conducting disciplinary hearings, ensuring fair and reasonable procedures.

  • Equality Act 2010: Ensures fair treatment during disciplinary hearings, prohibiting discrimination based on protected characteristics.

  • ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures: Offers best practices for conducting disciplinary hearings and ensuring procedural fairness.

  • Data Protection Act 2018: Ensures that employee data related to disciplinary hearings is handled securely and confidentially.
