Grievance & Disciplinary Outcome Writing

Clear, defensible outcome decisions — written by senior HR

The most common point of failure in grievance and disciplinary processes is not the investigation — it’s the outcome letter.

Poorly worded outcomes create confusion, escalate emotion, invite appeal, and increase legal risk. This service provides senior HR judgement applied to outcome writing, ensuring decisions are clear, proportionate and defensible.

Perfect for

✔ Organisations needing grievance, disciplinary or appeal outcome letters drafted properly
✔ Managers or HR teams lacking the time, confidence or experience to write high-risk correspondence
✔ Sensitive matters involving conduct, relationships, bullying or discrimination
✔ Regulated environments where procedural fairness and tone are critical
✔ Situations where a badly worded outcome could trigger appeals or claims

What you get

Independent, senior HR outcome drafting, including:

  • Review of investigation materials
    Evidence, policies, notes and findings are reviewed to ensure consistency and balance.

  • Risk sense-check before drafting
    Identification of weak reasoning, problematic language or procedural risk.

  • Professionally drafted outcome letter, clearly setting out:

    • Findings against each allegation

    • Balance of probability reasoning

    • Proportionality of the decision or sanction

    • Clear and lawful appeal rights

  • Internal decision rationale note
    A concise record explaining why the outcome is reasonable and defensible if later challenged.

  • Optional appeal outcome drafting
    Ensuring consistency and procedural rigour through to final resolution.

The focus is clarity, fairness and defensibility — not templates or generic wording.
