Establishment Partnership Forums. Each Establishment will be required to establish the above that will require to convene at least every two months. Membership is set out in Partnership Accord #8 ‘Partnership Structures’. The arrangements set out in Partnership Accord #8 allow for flexibility of membership. The principle of inclusivity should apply first and foremost, but at the same time membership numbers should not make the arrangement unwieldy or produce a low rate of return on the use of the limited paid time off resource available. The membership and planned duration of Partnership Forum Meetings should be agreed between the Partners at the beginning of the resourcing year, producing an annualised time off total. This is illustrated on the attached Resource Deployment Summary Sheet.
