In-line with our Working in Partnership Agreement and Framework, policy formulation consists of consultation with our Staff Side partners: Unison, Unite, Royal College of Nursing (RCN), GMB and British Medical Association (BMA).
There is a Sub Group (Policy Sub Group) of the Staff Partnership Committee (SPC) , that meets on a regular basis to discuss and agree content of new policies and amendments to existing policies.
On conclusion of this process, the agreed documents go to the SPC for approval. Following approval, they are published for use within the organisation.
The membership is made up of management representatives with technical knowledge of the subject area, and staff side representatives. Others in attendance could include:
If you have something to say about an existing HR Policy or have thoughts and ideas about subjects we are lacking information in, we would like to hear from you. Provide your feedback here on our HR policies to tell us what you think.
Would you like to attend a Policy Sub Group meeting? If so, discuss this with your manager first and register your interest to attend a Policy sub group.
If you have an interest in helping to develop changes to policies or new policies and processes, we are keen to hear form you. We particularly like our stakeholders and customers to be involved so that we can seek to understand what they may need from these processes. If you would like to get involved, please register your interest in policy development.
If you know of other organisations that have particularly innovative policies and processes, and if they are willing to share them with us, please let us know by completing our policy form.
We are pausing Policy development and amendments due to the current Covid 19 situation. Instead we are focusing on Covid related FAQs and essential updates.
