Verbal Instructions from a Line Manager

 We would like to repeat again advice that any verbal instruction given by a Subject Head/Field Leader or Dean to a staff member should be confirmed back to them by email for the record if you are concerned about what you have been asked to do. This follows Disciplinary Procedures being used in RDBS when staff members were following verbal instructions. For the avoidance of any doubt confirm in writing what you have been asked to do before taking any action and await confirmation if necessary. If you are concerned about what you are being asked to do contact your School Representative or any Officer immediately for advice. Full details of UCU Officers and Representatives at the end of this newsletter.
