Developing and embedding joint and partnership working in higher education

This project, which was completed in Summer 2008, followed on from a successful phase one project, LGMF-019 and was designed to assist the development of joint working between employers and trades unions in higher education institutions. It involved:

• training in joint working skills
• 'facilitated problem solving' using employment consultants that employ joint working methods
• nine regionally delivered learning seminars
• two events aimed at the heads of institutions delivered with Universities UK and SCOP
• the publication and dissemination of the toolkit and report developed under phase one
• working with the Leadership Foundation to embed joint working principles at the highest level.

Total funding : £157,190
