Practical disciplinary HR support for UK employers

Resolve complex conduct issues, gross misconduct, and employee disputes with confidence. Get straightforward, CIPD-qualified HR guidance when you need it.

How I support your disciplinary process

Managing misconduct requires a fair, structured, and compliant approach. We help UK small and medium businesses navigate every stage of the Acas code of practice, protecting your business while treating people fairly.

Case review and preparation

We assess the initial situation, review evidence, clarify whether a formal investigation is required, and draft compliant invitation letters and hearing agendas.

Hearing guidance and notes

I help managers prepare for disciplinary and grievance hearings by developing clear questions, reviewing the relevant evidence and providing practical guidance on how to structure the meeting. Where appropriate, I can provide remote or on-site support and assist with accurate note-taking so the process is clearly documented and easier to manage.

Outcomes and appeals

I help employers review the findings, consider reasonable and proportionate outcomes, and prepare clear outcome letters. I can also support with appeal preparation, including reviewing the grounds of appeal, relevant evidence and the appropriate next steps. The employer remains responsible for the final decision.

Practical HR support without unnecessary complexity

Many disciplinary and misconduct matters can be managed effectively through a clear, well-structured HR process. JW HR Support provides direct access to a CIPD qualified HR consultant, with practical advice, document support and guidance throughout the process. Pay-as-you-go support is available at £60 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments, with remote support across the UK and on-site support available in Cornwall. Where specialist legal advice is appropriate, I will recommend that you seek support from a qualified employment solicitor.

Common conduct challenges we resolve

Employers regularly contact us when handling urgent and sensitive issues such as suspected gross misconduct, repeated lateness, unauthorised absence, policy breaches, insubordination, or bullying and harassment allegations. We bring immediate clarity and objective guidance to calm stressful workplace conflicts and maintain standard compliance.

Clear, calm guidance when you need it

If you are facing an urgent employee issue, simply send a message outlining what has happened and any upcoming deadlines. We will promptly confirm how we can assist, arrange an introductory call, and ensure your disciplinary procedures are legally robust and fair from day one.
