Issue details

Staff Flexible Working Policy: We have revised the council’s Flexible Working Policy to reflect current legislation, principally the Flexible Working Regulations 2014. 

Staff Disciplinary Policy: This procedure has been revised somewhat.   This is in order to ensure that staff that are required to complete a criminal record disclosure form in connection with their job for safeguarding reasons, as they work with children and / or adults at risk, but who do not, can have this matter more straight forwardly addressed with them under the disciplinary procedure.  This has been a persistent problem with some staff. These changes are in 2.3 and 2.5 of the policy and a new section (2.7).
