Line managers are encouraged to seek advice from their relevant HR Business Manager or Adviser where necessary when considering the need to review current working arrangements and when considering whether alternative arrangements are required.
This policy will be effective immediately for the recruitment of new members of staff. However, it is accepted that appropriate time will be needed to review arrangements for existing staff especially in circumstances where this may require changes to current working arrangements.
