If for any reason a student behaves in an unruly manner or breaks any HB Training centre policies, there is a disciplinary procedure to follow. All policies and centre guidelines will be explained to you during Induction.
There are 3 stages of disciplinary, which will all be documented. First stage will involve your personal tutor and Programme Director, if you are under 19 years you may bring your guardian, during this stage you will be actioned and monitored for 6 weeks. If there is no improvement, there will be a second stage disciplinary hearing, which will involve the programme director and the Quality Assurance Director; you will be given an action plan to follow and a rigorous 6 week monitoring programme. If this fails and no improvements are implemented a third stage disciplinary is carried out.
This is front of the board of Directors, this is the last stage and you may bring along a member of your family to represent you. Usually at this stage everything has failed and the student is suspended due to further investigation.
