How are policies and terms and conditions developed and updated?
Before a new or revised version can be implemented, there is usually a consultation period with the relevant trade union(s) and, where appropriate, with staff. The document then has to be approved by various University committees and signed off by Council which meets four times a year. Depending on the subject matter, the policy may need to go to the Equality and Diversity Committee, the Environment, Health and Safety Executive Committee or the Strategy Planning and Resource Committee. In addition certain items need to go to Senate. For more information on the committee structure, visit the Council web site.
