Consolidated line management responsibility for Professional Services staff embedded in schools:
We introduced four new Heads of Professional Service roles which are closely aligned with Schools but whose line management sits in Professional Services.
Benefits: We’re working as effectively and efficiently as we can and are building a more resilient and agile range of services to support staff and students.
We’re improving our processes and providing a strong voice for Schools in the planning of Professional Services strategies. We also need to create opportunities for cost-savings, particularly where there is duplication.
A number of compliance roles have been consolidated and moved into General Counsel, Governance and Compliance (GCGC).
These include: bringing together Information, Governance, Business Continuity & Risk; the Prevent Lead and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) lead signatory moving from Planning & Performance; UK Visa & Immigration accountability moving from SRAID to GCGC; and Competition & Markets Authority (CMA)
Benefits: Consolidation of compliance-related activities fits better with General Counsel as they already provide advice on legal and regulatory requirements.
Health & Safety moved from Estates and Facilities Management into GCGC
Benefits: Ensures legal and regulatory requirements for Health and Safety are met.
Copyright Licence Agreement (CLA), Education Recording Agreement (ERA) and Motion Picture Licence Agreement (MPLA) authority moved from Performance & Planning to Libraries.
Benefits: Licences and agreements that relate to academic materials for use of students and staff held within the Library.
