4. Pastoral support for complainants, respondents and witnesses
5. Operation of confidentiality
6. Representational rights of advisers
7. Impact of penalties on employment
8. Interaction with other UCU procedures
9. Compliance with legal rights of trade union members and representatives
10. Compliance with principles of natural justice
