Policy
Peer review policy & procedure
This peer review policy and procedure aims to support all employees to achieve and maintain their maximum (reasonable) contribution to their role at the project. It’s an opportunity for all employee members to have time to reflect on their role, to think about how their work is going and what the issues are. It’s a chance to have someone else engage with their job, listen to them and support them with anything they need help with, and to grow and develop within the role.

It has been written to follow the guidelines set out in the Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures, without the punishment-based approach of issuing warnings.
