Partnership Working

Board Partnership Agreement

The Board Partnership Agreement was developed jointly by the Board and the Trade Unions/Professional Organisations representing staff. The Agreement is designed to ensure staff are effectively involved in influencing the shape and implementation of decisions that affect their work, and offer managers the means where staff views can be considered before taking the decisions for which they are accountable. We are delighted to support this Board Partnership Agreement and commend it to you. Currently under review the updated version will be linked when available.

Facilities Agreement

The Facilities Agreement was developed jointly by the Board and the Trade Unions and Professional Organisations representing staff and has been designed to establish a formal policy and procedure on trade union/professional organisation facilities. In developing the agreement, cognisance was taken of the legal requirements placed on the Board, the Staff Governance Standard and the Partnership Information Network Policy and Practice. Currently under review the updated version will be linked when available.

Area Partnership Engagement Process

In early 2022, the Area Partnership Forum agreed engagement process documents which outline the process for bringing papers to the Area Partnership Forum for both Acute and Community and the process for seeking staff side representation for meetings. Links to documents will be added in due course; if you wish further information on either process, please contact the APF Administrator by emailing Kirstin.McKenzie@ggc.scot.nhs.uk.
