We are facing a period of great change in public service markets as the Government grapples with the multiple challenges of fiscal austerity, increasing competition and choice, whilst meeting the demand for greater personalisation of services.

The Coalition Government is implementing a fundamental shift of power away from Whitehall to councils, communities and homes across the UK through its’ vision of “the Big Society”.  Equally health services are facing a radical restructure to decentralise commissioning decisions to local GP consortia and create a diverse market of new provider organisations.  As a result of these strategies the concepts of redundancy and staff transfers are becoming commonplace.

We can guide you through consultations with staff and representatives, draft documents and provide management training to ensure that you successfully meet your objectives.
