Q: How much information do I need to give to the complainant about the outcome of a misconduct investigation?

A: In the private sector there are no rules about this. However, we suggest the complainant is told the investigation has concluded, is given a summary of the findings, informed of any actions that directly impact on him/her and be told to report any victimisation that occurs due to him/her making a complaint.

We do not recommend telling the complainant any disciplinary action that is taken against the alleged perpetrator due to confidentiality reasons.
