The company will make arrangements wherever possible for the appeal to be
conducted by a person who has not been involved in the flexible work request
outcome.

However, due to restricted management structure within the business, it may not be
possible for the appeal to be conducted by a person previously uninvolved in the
flexible work request process. Therefore, for any appeal that is submitted there will
be a thorough review of all the facts, the procedures followed, and that the outcome
took account of all factors and was consistent according to company procedures and
policy.
