Local Joint Consultative Committee
It was noted that the Redeployment Policy had been updated to include changes from the Protection from Redundancy (Pregnancy and Family Leave) Act 2023 and the Maternity Leave, Adoption Lever and Shared Parental Leave (Amendment) Regulations 2024.
There was a discussion about the wording in the policy at 4.1 that stated “unfit for full duties.” It was proposed by Councillor M Radulovic MBE and seconded by Councillor E Winfield that this be changed “to fulfil the essential duties of their post on a case by case basis.” On being put to the meeting the motion was passed unanimously.
RECOMMENDED to Cabinet that the amendments to the Redeployment Policy, including “to fulfil the essential duties of their post on a case by case basis,” be approved.
