The Scheme. The scheme pools resources to enable all Nottinghamshire maintained (inclusive of special schools), free, academy schools / multi-academy trusts who contribute to the Fund, access to local trade union representatives for consultation and negotiation purposes and to represent school employees in the school’s management of HR/employee relations matters. The scheme is effectively an annual fixed cost ‘insurance policy’ to contribute to the cover costs of release time for locally elected school representatives who work on a county wide basis. Many schools are fortunate to have very few employee relations matters to manage, but the unpredictability of these issues make it important for all schools to have firm arrangements in place. The operation of the scheme is supported by a protocol (Appendix 2) negotiated between the county council HR Service and local recognised local trade unions which provides a practical framework and commitment for the management of employee relations in our schools.
