thumperrabbit Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 We don't currently have an Employee Handbook and I feel it would be a good idea to have one. Does anyone have one? If so what do you have in it? Hours of Work Who is Who Ethos of Setting Dress Code Who to call if sick Policies - Disciplinary, Grievance, Safeguarding, Whistle Blowing, Inclusion What else??

Guest Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 erm... i think you've pretty much got it covered there. You could maybe have a list of staff and their roles too. I think I've got a copy of our staff handbook upstairs, I'll go and have a look and let you know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Ok, I've found it and there's a lot of information in it (the contents are 3 pages long!) but i suspect that yours doesn't need to be as detailed! I work in an SEN school with about 100 staff including medical staff, speech therapists etc so ours probably needs to cover a lot more than yours. I'll go through the contents and list the things that I think you might want to include: Staff attendance advise (e.g. when you need to get a sick note etc.) Accident and illness (what to do if the children are hurt or ill) Behaviour policy Confidentiality policy Contact with parents/ carers (do they need to make an appointment etc) Electrical resources (all should be PAT tested, so don't bring your own in) Fire safety and emergency evacuation routine Internet/ E-safety policy Mobile phones? Collecting money (does it have to come in an envelope? Is one person responsible for collecting it?) Parking? Performance Management? Photocopying (instructions and rules!) Site plan smoking (including if a visitor is seen smoking on the grounds they should be respectfully asked not to) Sorry I've just realised that you already had staff roles on your list! You don't need to put all the policies in the handbook, just put where they can be found. hope this is helpful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I got the PSLA one, it was perfect, only a couple of small changes and saved me HOURS of typing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
