[sammimac74]

at work i witnessed an incident that involved my friend and had to write a statement for my employer. my friend is now having a diciplinary and wants me to be her witness, i have heard that i cant be her witness because im already involved in the incident because the employer have taken a statement from me and am named as being involved in the minutes of the meeting, can someone tell me if this is correct please

many thanks

The choice of the accompanying person is for the worker, not the employer, and can be either a co-worker or a trade union official. For more info your friend should have a look at Acas - http://www.acas.co.uk/index.aspx?articleid=899 .
