Your employer may ask you to write a statement to help them investigate an incident. Our statement writing guide tells you how, and provides some templates that you can use to write your statement.

If your conduct or practice is being questioned, provided you were in the correct category of membership at the time of the incident, we can check your statement before you submit it. Please contact us to access this service.

If you are purely a witness, and you are sure that your conduct or practice is not being questioned, write the statement by following our guidance and hand it in - we don't need to check it for you.

An investigation meeting is a fact-finding exercise - it is not held to discipline you.
 
Read our investigations advice guide for practical advice on how to prepare for, and conduct yourself during, the meeting. Read your employer's disciplinary policy too, and contact us for advice and support.  
 
If you have been suspended from work, remember that suspension is ordinarily considered a neutral act and does not imply guilt. However, we understand how distressing this is and we can support you. Contact us without delay.

If you are implicated in a disciplinary matter, contact us as soon as possible. If you were in the correct category of membership at the time of the incident that led to the hearing, we can help you to prepare your case. 

Read your employer's disciplinary policy to help you prepare. Also read our discipline guide for an overview of the process, from investigation to employment tribunal.
