CIRC 107: FACILITY TIME FOR RECOGNISED TRADE UNIONS AT LOCAL LEVEL

Please find the enclosed letter that has gone to all Governors in England/Wales regarding the above. Please note this agreement is only in relation to recognised Trade Unions, which of course the POA enjoy solely for the grades identified in the letter. This close working arrangement is essential to ensure you are afforded that time as POA Officials to work with Local Management on EDMs, Risk Assessments, Safe Systems of work and Recovery Regime Management Plans.

The Director General Phil Copple has recognised the importance of providing this facility time both Nationally and Locally.
