The Grievance Mediator has indicated that all requests for mediation must be in writing, stating the nature of the problem or matter in respect of which mediation is sought, and a telephone contact number. A copy of this request should be given to the Chief Executive Officer concerned.
It is expected that the Chief Executive Officer will forward a report on the matter of the grievance to the office of the Grievance Mediator as soon as convenient. It is emphasised that speedy mediation is highly desirable.
All requests for mediation and any reports and other documents furnished with reports will be treated in strict confidence in accordance with the principles stated in the SES manual.
