  In what kind of situation would a month of delay and complete redaction of any information given in confidence by other people? Almost anything involving potentially criminal conduct where you need to collect robust evidence without tipping off the suspect might qualify, for example. Or anything where the suspected misconduct happens regularly but at less frequent intervals, such as theft from a monthly or quarterly supply delivery. Also, who says you get to completely redact other relevant information just because someone thought they gave it in confidence? There is no blanket protection under GDPR for such confidences, and each case will need evaluating individually, probably with guidance from a lawyer. The GDPR requires you to balance the rights of all involved parties. Which, like all the other aspects of the GDPR that impose ambiguous rules with no guidance on how to apply them in practice, is not particularly helpful. And of course the GDPR is very far from the only relevant law if we're talking about disciplinary procedures.
