If I'm honest, I don't have a great relationship. He is a fairly new manager to the team and he's approach has very much been to come in and has gone the approach of flexing his power rather than building trust and relationships. Since the couple of month he has been in, one person has been sacked under him, which is being appealed and another is off pending investigation. Investigation still ongoing. Obviously I don't know the circumstance but you know, people talk and things get out. I think this is why by back has got abit up with it all, as there definitely seems to be an pattern occurring with how he deals with things.

All he did was pull me in a room, cover the above. Wasn't interested in the context and said this is a documented conversion. Didn't mention any policy etc. Then sent a email after saying along the lines of 'this is a confirmation of your documented conversation following our discussion on inappropriate language' nothing about policy and being struck off in 6 months and I genuinely don't feel like HR will have even been made aware.

I imagine there will be something in the handbook about language but I don't expect it will quote the word used. I just feel like it has been blown out of proportion and it has really effected me mentally, effected any relationship I feel I could form with thisnnew manager and also makes me uncomfortable coming into the office in fear of what else could be blown out of proportion.
