Following our last update in March 2023 that advised individual rank order score outcomes had been issued to colleges for feedback. Having received feedback from individual colleges, the project was paused.
The employers and the support staff trade unions have since met several times to fully discuss revised proposals submitted by the staff side and how to get the project back on track. Work is now ongoing to produce a new project plan and a subsequent business plan which is required to seek approval for additional funding.
Further discussions will continue between employers and support staff trade unions over the coming weeks, and employers and support staff unions will provide a more regular update on the progress of these discussions.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can contact your college HR department, or UNISON, GMB, Unite.
