HR Projects for Multi-Academy Trusts

Taking an objective look at all aspects of HR, including people management, Policies and Procedures, Single Central Record, Pay and Conditions, Employee Contracts, Casework, CPD and HR data. We can undertake a compliance audit with a detailed report of recommendations detailing greater compliance in areas where our experts feel there is room for improvement.

Restructuring can be complicated and time-consuming. By providing dedicated support, we can help you create your business case for restructuring, manage the restructuring process, consult with trade unions, create skills audits, ensure the process is in line with legislative requirements, and achieve the right outcome.

As more schools join Academy Trusts, they often come with their own localised terms and conditions; we undertake a review of these, highlight the differences and provide advice and recommendations for harmonisation.

In cases involving senior staff members, independent investigators may be necessary. We offer experienced professionals who conduct impartial investigations into disciplinary and grievance cases. Our investigators assume the role of the investigative officer, presenting the case and providing all required documentation during internal proceedings.

We can undertake a policy and procedure review, drafting and implementing new policies to fit with your academy trust, reflecting your culture and ethos as well as being in line with legislative requirements. Undertaking any consultation with trade unions and staff, providing guidance on processes and supporting documentation to support the policies and procedures.

As academy trusts grow and new roles are created and existing roles evolve, we provide salary evaluation and benchmarking to ensure that your pay structure is equitable. We can support the creation of pay structures and reward strategies, all bespoke to your trust.
