The council and trade unions recognise that on occasions, employees may wish to raise concerns relating to their employment on an individual or collective basis. The purpose of the grievance procedure is to provide a mechanism to raise any such concerns with a view to resolving them, whenever possible, through discussion and agreement and as speedily as possible.

Below you will find the grievance procedure along with associated forms and additional resources.
