Disciplinary records

Employees are entitled to a copy of the notes of their disciplinary, dismissal or grievance meeting and any supporting documentation relied on to make the decision. They should be given a reasonable chance to comment on draft minutes to ensure accuracy. These documents are “personal data” under the Data Protection Act 1998. In particular this means that they must be kept confidential and be adequate, relevant, accurate, secure and not excessive.

For more information see the Employment practices code, available from the website of the Information Commissioner.
