*Please cascade to all networks* Apologies for cross-posting.
I have taken a few calls and received some e-mails recently asking for an update on the status of the draft profiles.
Consultation on the profiles commenced on Friday 20th November 2004 and ended on Friday 17th December 2004. Seven consultation events were held around the UK. We received the following comments:
Band Profile Label No. forms received
2 Library Technician Entry Level 5
3 Library Technician 6
4 Library Technician Higher Level 7
5 Librarian 10
6 Librarian Team Leader 5
6 Librarian Specialist 8
7 Librarian Service Manager 9
8 Professional Manager Library Services 6
TOTAL NUMBER OF FORMS 56
There were 220 comments in total on the factors.
David Copsey and Linda Ferguson have reviewed all the comments and made adjustments to the profiles were possible. David and Linda met with members of the Job Evaluation Working Party Full Profiles Group on 6 January 2005 to discuss the changes to the profiles. The profiles are currently with the Profile Group who have some more queries (bands will remain the same only some of the levels may be adjusted) and Linda Ferguson will be meeting with them week commencing 7 February 2005.
The plan is to send the approved profiles to the NHS Staff Council for final approval on 21 February. The profiles should then be available on the Department of Health website.
I will let you know as soon as I can when they have been accepted by the Council and when they will be on the website.
