SURVEY

The group had a discussion regarding the purpose/content of the next survey that is to be issued within the next couple of months.

There were a couple of ideas on the content of the survey and the distribution.

(1)    Send out information individually and ask the employees to complete all their personal details/to ensure the details are correct, then once this information is received request the employees preference of school

OR

(2)    Send out all the information together i.e. personal details + preference of school

Some employees may not be sure of which school they would like until all the Headteachers are appointed. 

The group agreed that the first thing to do is to ensure that all personal details on the database are correct and up-to-date then deal with the preferences of school.

Darren agreed to draw up a draft and bring to the next meeting on 18^th May.

Once this is agreed it can be distributed to schools after the Spring Bank Holiday (w/c 18^th June) to ensure that all staff receive this at the same time.
