Reviews

Reviews are part of the ordinary business of the University. They are set up to ensure that schools and services are academically and financially sustainable, with appropriate resources and a strategy.

Senate decides if a review should be initiated. Reviews are governed by a detailed five-stage process (the organisational change policy) agreed by campus trade unions in March 2010 and revised in March 2012, which ensures that staff are fully engaged, trade unions are consulted and Senate itself is appropriately involved.

The initiation of a review neither implies nor assumes the need for redundancies. The University has never made compulsory redundancies; as the policy sets out, it remains a last resort.

Have a look at the Reviews website - to get a clear description of why reviews are set up and what happens at each stage.

See the Organisational Change Policy setting out the rules governing reviews.

The Employment Security Review Group was set up in March 2010 to provide a formal framework for consulting campus unions about organisational change, employment and jobs.  Read Director of Human Resources Matthew Knight's blog on the ESRG.
