Support for staff
Last updated:9.1 The Council acknowledges that redundancy processes can be unsettling and can cause employees increased levels of anxiety.
9.2 There are several places where employees can access advice and support as follows:
- The headteacher/Line Managers will provide information, advice and help within the resources available.
- Trade Union Representatives – where an employee is a member of a trade union, their union representative can provide support and advice.
- Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) – the EAP provide on-line or telephone advice and support 24/7, free of charge. This service is confidential. Occupational Health – can provide services such as counselling. A referral will be needed, but prior permission must be sought from the Headteacher before counselling is undertaken as the school will be required to fund this.
