A BRAND NEW COURSE!
Addressing Conflict between Employees and Members, including Code of Conduct Issues
Course Description
This course provides guidance for Councils to address complaints of bullying, harassment and intimidation by Employees within the current legal framework, includes:
The significance of the Localism Act 2011 and the Ledbury ruling.

Steps a “reasonable” Council should take to protect Employees.
Essential Policies and Procedures to protect staff and defeat the Council against Tribunal Claims.
