DISCIPLINARY GUARANTEES

 

Article 5: No penalty may be imposed on a trainee without the latter being informed at the same time and in writing of the complaints made against him/her.

 

Article 6: When the director of the training organisation or his representative is considering imposing a penalty, he shall summon the trainee by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by delivery to the person concerned in return for a receipt, indicating the purpose of the summons, the date, time and place of the interview, unless the penalty envisaged is a warning or a penalty of the same nature which has no immediate impact on the trainee's presence for the remainder of the course.

 

Article 7: During the interview, the trainee may be assisted by a person of his/her choice, whether a trainee or an employee of the organisation.

The trainee shall be notified of the penalty in writing, stating the reasons, by recorded delivery or registered letter.

​

Article 9: When an act considered to be wrongful has made it essential to take the precautionary measure of temporary exclusion with immediate effect, no definitive sanction relating to this act may be taken without the trainee having first been informed of the grievances against him/her and, if applicable, having been summoned to an interview and given the opportunity to be heard by the Disciplinary Committee.
