The purpose of the Staff Council is to provide an effective communication link between staff and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) of the council.

Every 2 years a staff survey is conducted to gain a valuable insight about what you think about the Council as an employer, your role within the organisation and your thoughts on issues such as communication, training and personal development.

A copy of the Staff Survey can be accessed via LINC. If you do not have access to LINC, please ask your line manager for a copy of the survey.

A dedicated intranet site for all staff to access which will have all the information that you may need as an employee. It will also direct you to other relevant sites.

There are other ways in which we communicate with our staff, and these may be through emails, meetings, newsletters, staff away days and conferences.
