Description
Staff are a school's most important asset because children's welfare and the quality of teaching and learning depend on all of the people who work there. This handbook guides schools through the legal minefield of anti-discrimination, human rights and other legislation relevant when making appointments. Senior managers and staffing committees are given help with: developing effective selection procedures, creating job descriptions and personnel specifications, writing better job advertisements, shortlisting and interviewing techniques.
