The employer, in discussion with the LADO, will need to decide what further action, if any, should be taken, i.e.
- whether the case should be dealt with through their disciplinary process, and,
- if they need to investigate any further,
- what support and/or professional advice should be given to the member of staff,
- how best to facilitate the return to work of the member of staff,where appropriate,
- how best to manage the member of staff’s contact with the child who made the allegation, if still in the workplace.
If formal disciplinary action is not required, the designated senior manager/employer should take appropriate action within 3 working days.
