Asking on behalf on a family member (fm).
If there are issues regarding staff within an office, 3 who work with under one line manager and 1 who works under a different line manager, and an 'informal' meeting is held where the two line managers and four office staff are present in order to resolve the differences (basically one line manager dictating to all what will and wont happen), would any one of the four staff members have the right to request that a member of HR sit in on the meeting?
The meeting in question happened today, with no minutes taken, as it was 'informal'. I am asking in case future 'informal' meetings are held. I have advised the fm to email their line manager with a summary of the meeting, and asking for confirmation/clarification of the summary. The fm is also starting to record the other line managers unprofessional (i.e. bullying) behaviour towards the fm, which I can see eventually going to grievance, if fm doesnt leave first. But in the meantime I feel that having a staff member who is not related professionally to any of the 6 people involved would benefit all in the meeting, and would like to know if staff members can request HR are invited (and possibly refuse to attend if HR are not attending)?
Sorry if that is garbled, I will try and explain better if it isnt clear.
