Have your say
We have a staff consultation group which meets every quarter. Representatives from each directorate are nominated within their own area. They meet with senior management on a quarterly basis with agenda items being raised to discuss and consider further on behalf of staff and each member. In addition, the senior leadership team will take the opportunity to update and consult with the staff consultation group on any organisational or policy changes being considered to get their views.
