An Internal Committee is not a formality. Its members may receive sensitive complaints, run a structured process, weigh information impartially, protect confidentiality and write reasoned findings. TTM India's programme builds role clarity and procedural confidence.

Discuss IC/ICC Member Training

"Internal Committee (IC)" is the term used in the body of the Act. The Act's section 4 heading calls it the "Internal Complaints Committee (ICC)". They are the same committee.

Who it is for

  • Presiding Officers
  • Internal members
  • External members
  • Administrative or HR staff who support the committee
  • Newly constituted committees, and experienced committees who want a refresher

What the programme covers

Foundation. Purpose and scope of the Act, key definitions, employer duties, committee composition, tenure, vacancies and each member's role.

Receiving a complaint. Sensitivity at first contact, the written complaint and assistance, jurisdiction and time limits, the limits of conciliation, and confidentiality.

Planning the inquiry. Notices, replies, opportunity to be heard, neutrality, conflicts of interest, natural justice, scheduling and records.

Interviews and evidence. Neutral questioning, witnesses, documents and digital material, context, credibility without stereotypes, and reliable record-keeping.

Findings. Separating the allegation, the material, the analysis and the conclusion. Writing reasoned findings and recommendations within the committee's authority.

Practice. A fictional case simulation, role exercises, common errors, a short drafting activity and an action checklist for your committee.

Formats

  • Foundation programme for new committees
  • Refresher for experienced committees
  • Case simulation workshop
  • Orientation for the Presiding Officer and external member
  • Multi-location committee workshop
  • Onsite or online

Important limits

Training improves capability. It does not replace case-specific legal advice. We do not discuss any identifiable, active matter in a classroom, and we do not take part in your committee's decisions. Any sample formats we share are for training use and may need adaptation to your organisation.

How often should members be trained?

The Act refers to orientation programmes for committee members "in the prescribed manner" and to awareness programmes at regular intervals. A sensible plan is an induction when a committee is constituted or reconstituted, with a refresher based on need, such as a change of members or a gap in practice. We can help you plan that rhythm.

Preparing for an IC programme

Before booking, it helps to have:

  • The order constituting your committee and the list of members
  • Your approved POSH policy
  • A coordinator on your side
  • Any special context (multi-site, shift work, sensitive settings)

Our free POSH Readiness Checklist is a good starting point.
