Ask for Mr D J Morgan Tel(01473) 584102

18th January 1999

Dear Mr Matthews,

FIRE SERVICES (DISCIPLINE) REGULATIONS 1985 – THREE CAHARGES (1) INSUBORDINATION (2) DISOBEDIENCE TO ORDERS (3)AND ABSENCE FROM DUTY

I am writing to advise you that you have agreed with Sub Officer X that, at his request, you should attend, the disciplinary Tribunal to give evidence in respect of one or more of the above charges. This request, therefore, is made in pursuance of para 7b at page 13 of the guidance notes to the Regulations.

As part of the preparation of his case, Sub Officer X may seek to interview you and take a statement and you will, no doubt, wish to collaborate with him on this.

My colleague, Lizzie Reynolds (01473 584097), is seeking to set down two days in early-mid February for the hearing with a third day in reserve, and you will be advised of these arrangements as soon as possible.
In Suffolk, the Disciplinary Tribunal (which, of course, is a forum set-up under the above regulations) is made up of three Elected Members drawn from the County Council’s Protection Committee. Almost invariably it meets at County Hall.

I will write to you again as soon as possible but, if you have any queries at this stage, please do not hesitate to contact either the brigade’s Personnel Manager, Sarah Davies (01473 – 588888) or me (01473 584102)


Yours sincerely

Dave Morgan
Employee Relations Manager
