Accompaniment Rights

Accompaniment rights refer to the legal entitlements that a person has to be accompanied by someone when participating in certain processes, like investigations or disciplinary hearings. This means an individual can have a colleague, friend, or representative present for support or to help communicate their position. These rights vary depending on the specific context, such as workplace policies or legal proceedings, and are designed to ensure that individuals are treated fairly and have a voice during important discussions or decisions affecting them.
