Do I need to have a grievance policy in place?

Do I need to have a grievance policy in place?

It is not a mandatory requirement for schools to have a grievance policy in place, but it can be extremely helpful when dealing with such matters as it sets out what is expected of the employee and school in these situations. It is crucial that all grievance policies incorporate the provisions of the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures as a minimum:

For a compliant policy please see:
