Description
The Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS) assesses cases of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct across the Houses of Parliament. The ICGS are seeking Independent Investigators to join a framework of suppliers who will be assigned to assess cases of misconduct. The investigators will be tasked with assessing a complaint and coming to a recommendation as to whether, on the balance of probabilities, the alleged behaviour occurred and if this constitutes a breach of either the Bullying and Harassment policy or the Sexual Misconduct policy.
