Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. Specifically you asked: “How many employees were subject to the disciplinary process in all its forms in 2021-22, along with reasons and outcomes (i.e. case dismissed, written warning, final warning, employment terminated)?”. I can confirm that we hold the information you require, which is provided in the attached spreadsheet. Transport for London (TfL) has a robust set of disciplinary processes which are in place to deal with breaches in standards, rules and procedures. Please note the following:
the data covers the period 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2022 and is based on the information as recorded in our central reporting system;
the first table shows the number of cases broken down by reasons. The second table shows the number of cases broken down by outcome.
241 unique individuals had disciplinary cases raised against them in the year;
there were 258 disciplinary cases in total (meaning some employees had more than one case);
disciplinary cases can have up to six reasons per case. In the first table in the attached spreadsheet there are 250 reasons recorded. However, note that in our records there are 28 cases that have no reasons recorded. This means that some cases had more than one reason recorded against them;
