Dear Colleagues, Can you recommend any individuals/organisations we should approach to help us in a piece of qualitative research that will be part of a full impact assessment of a draft grievance procedure? We would like this particular project to be completed no later than October 2008. For those who express an interest in this work, we will send out details on the project specification, plus relevant background information, including an equality audit of the University by the Gus John Partnership and our own review of the latest, available statistics. I would also be very keen to hear from you if your institution has already conducted an impact assessment in this area and is prepared to share that experience with us.
