Decision-Making, Suspension, Post Investigation Actions and Outcomes The DSL together with the Director of People (PD) and, if appropriate, the CEdO, decides on action when an allegation is reported. If the allegation meets the statutory threshold, referral to the LADO must be made within 1 working day considering: • Immediate safety of any learner involved. • What, when, and with whom information should be shared, including the individual subject to the allegation and other employers. • Whether suspension is required pending investigation. • Securing relevant records or removing equipment from the individual. • Referral criteria to the Local Authority and/or Police. • Additional information needed for clarity. • Who is aware of the allegation and who has been spoken to. • Whether advice should be sought from the Local Authority or NSPCC. • Managing information sharing, speculation, leaks, or media interest.
