Disciplinary and grievance issues

Archery GB believes that many potential disciplinary or grievance issues can be resolved informally, when and where they happen.

However, where an issue cannot be resolved informally, this page and the documents below are intended as a guide to a more formal process.

In dealing with these issues fairly, we believe it is important that:

• Issues should be dealt with promptly without unreasonable delay
• All involved should act in a consistent manner
• Decisions should be based on facts and, if necessary, investigations
• Members should be informed, be able to put their case before any decision is reached
• Members should be allowed to be accompanied at any hearing
• An appeal process should be put in place
