Support

Question:
Support
Answer:

Being subject to an allegation is likely to be stressful and you must be offered support. Your employer should:

  • advise you to seek support from your Trade Union
  • provide a named support person who will keep you up-to-date with any investigations
  • provide a named support person who will keep you up-to-date with any work matters if you are suspended
  • your employer could also offer you support via employee resources such as an Employee Assistance Programme or a service similar to this.
