Training Course Overview:
- The aim of the disciplinary skills training course is to distill the disciplinary
procedure into easy to follow, manageable steps. Delegates will have a better understanding
of the operation of employment law (without getting into too much depth), know when
the disciplinary procedure is the best course of action and be able to prepare and
deliver a professional disciplinary interview.
- A variety of training methods are used on the training course, including syndicate
and group discussion, exercises, demonstrations and role play.
- A feature of the training course is the use of a Knowledge/Skill Checklist - a list
of the knowledge and skills being developed. The participant self-rates at the start
and finish of the day, to establish the extent to which they have benefited from
the training course. This also gives them, and their line manager, further analysis
of their strengths, highlighting any further development needs.
- Delegates will be supplied with full support documentation, supplied in spiral bound
format.
- A mini exhibition of interpersonal skill books, additional handouts and ‘hints and
tips’ sheets will be provided in the training room, for delegates to visit during
‘down-time’ e.g. at breaks.
- Prior to delivery of the disciplinary skills training course, we would host a telephone
meeting with you to establish the nature of the delegate’s roles, find out more about
your organisation’s disciplinary policy and understand any points for emphasis on
the course.

The feedback from Area Sales Managers has been extremely positive - they all felt
it very beneficial”

DISCIPLINARY SKILLS
The Employment Act 2008 places greater emphasis on the employer to ensure disciplinary
issues are dealt with in accordance with new statutory procedures and guidelines.
The A.C.A.S. Code of Practice states: "Those responsible for using and operating
the disciplinary rules, including managers at all levels, should be trained for the
task".
This course is intended for any manager or supervisor who may be tasked with carrying
out an internal disciplinary investigation and interview to build confidence and
‘de-mistify’ the process into easy-to-follow steps. Discover how to structure an
effective and easy-to-implement disciplinary process that adheres to UK employment
disciplinary procedure, how to conduct a disciplinary investigation and how to prepare
for, and deliver, the disciplinary interview.
