Companies House, the government body that maintains the register of companies and incorporates all forms of companies in the United Kingdom, has disciplined 132 staff over the past three years, according to new data.

The findings were revealed via the Freedom of Information Act (FOI), and analysed by the Parliament Street think tank, observing the number of disciplinary actions taken against staff as well as the number of employees sent on compliance and ethics training each year, for the past three years.

In total, disciplinary action was taken against 132 staff over the period, with Companies House attributing these to breaches of internal policies, including attendance management, grievance, performance, disciplinary and probation.
