Description
Making staff redundant is one of the hardest things that governors and school managers will ever have to do. As the birthrate falls and pupil numbers drop, budgets get tighter and more schools have to face this difficult process. Any reduction situation is unsettling and this sensitive issue must be handled fairly and carefully. This handbook gives independent advice on: keeping staff informed of their options; employment and other relevant legislation; sources of support, including the LEA; and working to the required timescales.
