There is no statutory right of accompaniment at meetings held to discuss a request for a predictable working pattern. However, you may request to be accompanied at the meeting by your trade union representative or official, or an appropriate work colleague. Please read our guidance on the role of a companion.
If you make a request to be accompanied at any meeting to discuss your request for a predictable working pattern, this must not cause undue delay in the process.
