Redundancy support

We understand the pressure that employers face in providing the appropriate level of support for staff during a restructure or review within a department.

We also understand the uncertainty and fears that staff experience on learning that they are to be made redundant or their employment is at risk.


We offer employers a free programme of support to your staff.
