Following new appointments within the East Devon UNISON Branch, not all Branch roles are filled by EDDC employees and therefore at the June 2023 Forum meeting it was proposed that the terms of reference for Staff Joint Forum be reviewed, allowing membership of the Forum from UNISON Branch members who are not EDDC employees. It was decided that it would be helpful to seek staff views before making this decision, which the Forum members will then review at the October meeting.  We’d therefore really welcome your feedback.

Membership of Staff Joint Forum

The Council holds Staff Joint Forum meetings which provide a means of negotiation between the Council and its officers on matters such as proposed changes to terms and conditions and HR policy and an opportunity to consider other issues that impact upon the workforce. Membership currently consists of 4 representatives appointed by the Council (SMT+ members) and 4 from &lsquo;staff side&rsquo; which is currently from the East Devon UNISON Branch, who have to also be employees of the Council. You can find further information on Staff Joint Forum <a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="http://eddcintranet/your-employment-with-eddc/joint-staff-forum/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.The membership of UNISON East Devon Local Government Branch is made up of not only EDDC employees but also employees of Strata Service Solutions, Leisure East Devon (who run the sports centres and leisure facilities in East Devon) and also some Parish Clerks and admin staff from Parish councils &nbsp;around the district. Under UNISON rules any member of the branch, regardless of their employer, is eligible to stand for positions on the Branch committee and represent members.Following new appointments within the East Devon UNISON Branch, not all Branch roles are filled by EDDC employees and therefore at the June 2023 Forum meeting it was proposed that the terms of reference for Staff Joint Forum be reviewed, allowing membership of the Forum from UNISON Branch members who are not EDDC employees.

Let us know your thoughts on the modular show home that you've visited today

Modular homes survey

If this concept succeeds, there is potential for the creation of many more new social housing homes on vacant or under-utilised land such as car parks and garage sites in East Devon. As such, this development is an important first step in solving East Devon&rsquo;s housing problems.

Have your say on whether to introduce staff network groups within the Council 

Staff Reference/Network Groups

Staff Networks                                                 

Dear Colleague,&nbsp;&nbsp; Staff Networks are groups of colleagues, often with a shared heritage, experience or characteristic that come together to support each other and work with the organisation to improve staff experience. They can be an important vehicle for belonging, inclusivity and a safe space to raise awareness and to support wellbeing as well as an employee voice feeding into organisation policy.&nbsp;&nbsp; We would like to gather your views to determine if a staff network group or groups should be established within the Council. We would therefore be grateful if you could help us with this objective by answering the following questions. Please note that your answers will be anonymous.&nbsp;Once you have submitted your response you will be prompted to input an email address to create a Commonplace account, however this is optional and will not be seen by anyone. We will share the high level results of this survey with staff, including what actions we will then take as a result.&nbsp; Alongside this, as part of the Council Plan and Peer Review preparations, we would like to hear from a cross-section of staff, whose views will inform this work. There is therefore an additional question asking if you would like to volunteer to be part of this group. Once we have volunteers, we will review the names to ensure that we have a good representation from all levels and parts of the Council and then confirm the next steps, which are likely to include attendance at some meetings with internal and external facilitators. These meetings would be held in work time. I would really encourage you to volunteer for this role. A representative from our local UNISON branch will also be part of this group.&nbsp; Thank you for your assistance.&nbsp;Joanna Fellows, Corporate Lead &ndash; Human Resources&nbsp;&nbsp;

Tell us about you - this helps us to understand the different needs of protected characteristics.&nbsp;

Thank you for your feedback and time to complete this survey.
