26.—(1) This regulation applies where, at the second stage meeting, the second line manager found that the performance or attendance of the officer concerned has been unsatisfactory as set out in regulation 24(6).
(2) Where this regulation applies, the officer concerned may appeal against one or more of the following—
(a)that finding;
(b)any of the matters specified in paragraph (3) and recorded in the final written improvement notice (in these Regulations referred to as the relevant terms of the final written improvement notice);

(4) The only grounds of appeal under this regulation are—
(a)that, in relation to an appeal under paragraph (2)(c), the officer concerned should not have been required to attend the second stage meeting as the meeting did not concern unsatisfactory performance or attendance which is similar to or connected with the unsatisfactory performance or attendance referred to in the written improvement notice;

(c)that any of the relevant terms of the final written improvement notice are unreasonable;
