Hi Brenda, I don't have personal experience of this and understand change can be unsettling however you are likely to be TUPED over in any event so you never know you might find it is hardly any different (unless that's bad of course then that's not very reassuring is it!) Good Luck.

I currently work in Scotland and we have been told that a private organisation is reviewing our service and this company may well be given the contract. At present it is uncertain as to what stage the negotiations are at - we are told not to worry?? Would be interested in others views.
