There is no statutory obligation for the governing body to consult unless it is planning to make changes to working conditions or staffing before the transfer. If the obligation applies then the recognised trade unions must be consulted or, if there are no unions recognised, employee representatives must be elected. There is no minimum period of consultation specified, but consultation needs to take place before any decisions are made.
