People unable to answer basic/straight questions with basic, straight questions.

Despite weeks of back and forth repeating the same question rather than get an email with the answers Iā€™ve been invited to a meeting to discuss my points.
I donā€™t want to discuss themā€¦i made them as i believe their valid and closed the point with a question - all of which i know the CoC have the answers to but for reasons unknown yet to be offered but to be discussed in a meeting

My considered legal advice is that you donā€™t do this without the employerā€™s consent. Employment Tribunals HATE covert recordings, and it could severely disadvantage a claim made.

From what I perceive of the OPs comment this is RAFAC, not an employment issue unless CFAVs are now employed.

Itā€™s still a really bad idea, it is of itself an act in breach of trust, and that tarnishes the results, ask first, if they have nothing to hide, why would they say no?

You are also entitled IIRC under the policy to have someone in the room with you, get them to take notes, get them typed and ask the interviewer to agree them.
