The aim of the Disciplinary Policy and Procedure is to ensure that the standards of conduct expected are known and adhered to and that alleged breaches are dealt with in a fair, consistent and timely manner.
Early intervention when minor problems are identified is encouraged and enables a proactive, developmental or educational approach rather than a punitive one.
