Staff turnover in the Independent Sector can be a big issue. The reasons for staff leaving is not always clear.
The Workforce Planning Team have developed this leaver process resource pack to help managers tackle this issue.
The pack is split into sections and you can pick and choose the tools you need for your particular situation. You can customise the forms with your own logos and adapt the questions if you need to.
However, please do not change any sections that relate to the National Minimum Data Set for Social Care (NMDS-SC) categories.
