My Partner will soon be putting an a grievance against her manager for various things. Her contract of employment says she may be accompanied/ represented by a colleague of her own choosing.
Does this mean people she works with or does it mean her daughter could accompany her?
Thank steve

She has no legal right to have her daughter there, but she can ask.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0

Does her daughter work for the same employer - if not then no. Unless she asks them if they are willing to make an exception.
Is she in a union - they might be best placed to represent.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I personally wouldn't take a family member in. They are a biased party.
Unless, of course, it is absolutely essential (ie you want them to verify some key facts which they witnessed).
I'd personally take in a union rep or a fairly impartial colleague.0 -
The companion isn't present simply as a note taker, they are permitted to address the hearing to put the workers case, sum up the case and respond on the workers behalf, (but not answer q. on behalf of the worker).

Yes, 'people you work with' is what the word colleague means.0 -
