Questions for you to consider
When under pressure to recruit quickly how do you demonstrate that you are prepared to act appropriately on concerns and make decisions that may be challenging for your organisation?
How do you ensure your disciplinary processes are transparent?
How do you ensure that your disciplinary processes include independent challenge to avoid conflicts of interest?
How do you ensure your organisation is learning from cases where disciplinary action has been taken on safeguarding grounds?
How do you ensure your organisation is not using informal mechanisms inappropriately when formal complaints or disciplinary processes should be applied?
What actions would you implement to make a change?
Using what you discussed, decide what actions you plan to take as an organisation. Note down who is accountable for ensuring these are implemented and when you aim to achieve them. Note that the "Actions for leaders" are a starting point, not an exhaustive list. You can add specific actions that are relevant to your organisation.
