A close look at what needs to be done to meet the NJC Code of Practice in relation to Competent Pay

-  a one day workshop for senior managers  -

We are pleased to be able to offer a one day workshop designed for senior Fire Service Managers and HR professionals.  The workshop is intended to help managers cut through bureaucracy and concentrate on the all important matter of performance management  -  whilst at the same time addressing the quality assurance requirements of the Code of Practice (NJC09/05).

Eddie McKnight will facilitate the workshop.  (He has current experience of helping Brigades to develop robust procedures in relation to competent pay and ’interpreting’ role maps in order to assess the performance of managers.)  In addition, a QA specialist will be in attendance and able to answer questions about external verification. 

The day will be informal and very practical.  There will be opportunities to discuss live issues, you will also receive tried and tested materials which can be used without copyright restrictions.

Workshop Objectives:

	To provide an understanding of the NJC Code of Practice in relation to competent pay (NJC09/05)
	To enable participants to assess the suitability of their own current QA procedures, and plan to bridge any 'gaps'
	To focus on the practical aspects of how QA requirements, systems and procedures can be used to measure (and manage) the performance of managers
	To provide materials which can be used without copyright restrictions, including a 'streamlined' recording system which will ensure a clear audit trail - robust enough to meet the most stringent external verification requirements!
