I fail to see how the LAS is going to have any impact at all on the behaviour of the staff. I am not aware that staff discipline comes within the remit of the LAS. It is true of course that nobody really knows what the LAS is supposed to do even though there have been several years to give it some serious thought. However, I would have thought that we would look to our respective LASs for support and encouragement. If they try and get "heavy" with anybody I predict a very quick loss of respect would be the only outcome.
