Yes. It would be better for you to suggest that someone else, a friend or
union representative/steward, accompanied the person. I say this having been
a union rep and been on the relevant training in the past. If your
organisation is not unionised then maybe a relative or friend from outside
could accompany the person - it depends on your companies disciplinary
procedures policy.
Hope this helps, Greta
