Personnel Services supports Council's Personnel Committee in the strategic development, implementation and review of comprehensive policies on all aspects of employment and employee relations. The section’s day-to-day activity is focused on providing specialist advice to heads of department, chairmen of faculty boards, and departmental administrators, in the context of an overall devolved approach to employment within the University. Officers of the section are also responsible for servicing various central staffing provisions, such as the joint consultative committees with employee representatives, grading, disciplinary appeals, and certain elements of academic appointments.
