Redundancy and Restructuring Workshop

Staffing costs account for the highest proportion of a school's budget spend (ideally 85%). The most effective schools allocate these resources efficiently, prioritising spending on staffing that facilitates the best outcomes for pupils and the most cost effective support services. These schools also plan for changes to staffing in tandem with school improvement planning.

This session focuses on:-

• The differences between redundancies and restructuring and the processes for each;
  
• Roles and responsibilities;
• Timescales and financial implications  

This is a participative session, with practical exercises to help managers to explore staff planning and restructuring and redundancy avoidance and management.

At the end of the workshop delegates will:-

• Appreciate the importance of planning;
  
• Know how to manage redundancies and restructuring;
• Understand the implications of these processes in time and money;
• Be aware of the resources and support available.
