Minutes of Meetings

[fedupworking]

Can anyone help me with this query, I have been attending an investigations into an allegation that has been made against me in work, I have requested a copy of the minutes of the meetings that have taken place from my manager but it looks like he is either not giving me them or ignoring me, I have asked for these verbally three times and once in writing, I thought it was a legal obligation to issue a copy of minutes of meetings that have taken place, Am I right or wrong?

You are right, and you are meant to sign and state that you agree with what is recorded.

No there is no legal obligation to take minutes or to provide them but it is best practice.

If minutes were taken it would be very unusual for them not to be provided.

Minutes were taken @ all three meetings, only @ one meeting were they read back to me and asked if I agree'd with what was in them, I have never been asked to sign them.I have been asking for these minutes from the 10th of Jan, don't know what to do next as I have also went higher than my own manager with this and still no joy.
Thanks for any feed back

no legal obligation to take minutes or to automatically issue copies, although unusual.

I would imagine you could request copies under the Data Protection Act as a Subject Access Request if they are not forthcoming, so on that basis you do have a legal right to see them as they are about you. If you have to do that it will take some time though.
