This is a structured, word-for-word script to help you run the third and final redundancy consultation meeting — ensuring the process is complete, fair, and fully evidenced before any decision is made. At this stage, the focus is on closing the consultation properly: reviewing what has been discussed, confirming that all alternatives have been explored, and giving the employee a final opportunity to provide input. The script ensures you handle this critical stage carefully — demonstrating that consultation has been genuine and thorough, while avoiding any suggestion that the outcome has already been predetermined. It helps you bring the process to a close in a controlled, professional, and defensible way. Who is it for?
