About outcomes

When we refer to outcomes, this means:

the decision we make about whether someone has a case to answer, for misconduct or gross misconduct, after our independent investigation. We will make the final decision, although we will consider the views of the appropriate authority about what should happen. The appropriate authority will carry out any disciplinary action.
the decision we make to refer a case to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) where there is an indication someone may have committed a crime
the results of misconduct or criminal proceedings that took place
