Grievance Process and Protocols of the PCNH Mar)agernenl Syslem. Exlerr)al expertise was engaged by the
Chairman of Trustees lo undertake the initial steps of the Formal Grievance Process which went lo the Appeal
Stage IOT which additional external expertise was also required. Trustees were appointed lo fulfil the functions
of Grievance and Appeal Manager5.
The duration of the formal processes was very protracted and considerably longer than envisaged. Once an
adjudication was made several resloralive actions were identified and enacted by the PCNH Leadership Team
and the Board ol Trustees collaboratively. The staff member resumed normal duties. Throughout the episode
the Trustees have placed greal store in maintaining a mar￿OnI0uS and supportive working climate at PCNH.
A consequence of Ihe Grievance episode is the human cost lo those directly Involved, most particularly Ihe
Management Team who have borne a very demanding situation with much fortitude. There are other costs that
have had lo be borne, most notably a significanl financial cost amounting to £16,000.
We continue lo await the realisalion of Legacies that were very generously gifted lo us some two years ago
and a further Benefactor's Legacy of some 250.000 US Dollars in 2024. Hopefully these will all come lo frLJilion
