Do staff on Study Leave need to take part in Annual Review?
All those returning from study leave are required, as a condition of study leave, to complete a report on the use that has been made of the study leave period. The form should be completed alongside a meeting with the Head of Department and then forwarded to the Deputy Vice Chancellor. The applicant should also have met with the Head of Department before applying for/gaining Head of Department approval for the leave to establish research objectives for the period and these will be reviewed during this return meeting. This is a sufficient review process in itself and the person would not be required to do an additional annual review. They would however, be expected to rejoin the annual review process the following year.
