A comprehensive suite of HR policies are available for both teachers and school colleagues. Each school is responsible for ensuring that the most up to date policies that have been adopted within the school are shared with their HR provider. No changes should be made to Derby City Council policies and procedures without the Council’s agreement. The policy and procedure content are currently under review for required revision and any updates will be uploaded onto the relevant pages.
The information pages are accessible to all community schools via a supplied password.
Role Grading and Evaluation
All community schools must contact the HR Lead-Policy and Strategy, when conducting job grading or evaluation. DCC as the employer needs to undertake all job role grading/evaluation.

Please note that we no longer provides Strategic HR Support to Schools. Schools should seek HR and employment law advice from another source.

As DCC are the employer for staff in your School, we retain a statutory obligation and will need to advise in certain situations. These are outlined in the School Protocol for employment of staff in Community Schools
