(a)

the line manager must assess the performance or attendance of the officer concerned during that period, in consultation with the F3appeal manager or a human resources professional (or both), and

(b)

the line manager must give the officer a written notice as to whether the line manager considers that there has been a sufficient improvement in performance or attendance during that period.

(2)

If the line manager considers that there has not been a sufficient improvement, the line manager must, at the same time as the line manager gives a notice under paragraph (1)(b), also give the officer concerned a written notice that the officer is required to attend a meeting (in these Regulations referred to as a F4second stage meeting) to consider performance or attendance.

(a)

the officer has not been required to attend a F6second stage meeting under paragraph (2), or

(b)

the officer has been required to attend a F7second stage meeting under paragraph (2) but the panel did not make a finding of unsatisfactory performance or attendance at that meeting.

(4)

If the line manager considers that the officer concerned has failed to maintain a sufficient improvement in performance or attendance during any part of the validity period of the F8written improvement notice remaining after the expiry of the period specified in accordance with F9regulation 17(6A), the line manager must give the officer a written notice of the matters set out in paragraph (5).

(5)

Those matters are—

(a)

that the line manager is of the view mentioned in paragraph (4), and

(b)

that the officer concerned is required to attend a meeting (in these Regulations referred to as a F10second stage meeting) to consider performance or attendance.
