What needs to be included in a witness statement?
It should contain all of the evidence that you want the court to have about the case and the reasons why you want the judge to make certain orders or directions. A witness statement should be factual and state what was seen, heard or felt by the person writing the statement.
Can I refuse to give a witness statement at work?
The employer should not automatically refuse to disclose a document if a third party, for example a colleague who has given a witness statement, does not consent to it being released. The employer should consider taking steps to anonymise the document before disclosing it.
Can you be dismissed during a grievance?
If your grievance is unsuccessful, then you can either appeal it, simply resign, or resign and claim constructive dismissal. This latter claim would be on the basis that you have been forced to leave because of a fundamental breach of contract on your employer’s part.

Is it worth putting in a grievance?
If an employee has a problem (‘grievance’) at work it’s usually a good idea for them to raise it informally first. The employer should respond even if the problem’s raised informally. A grievance procedure is a formal way for an employee to raise a problem or complaint to their employer.
