Revision of plans

30.—(1) Where, during the course of any cycle—

(a) the reviewee’s circumstances or responsibilities change;

(b) evidence emerges which gives rise to concern about the reviewee’s performance but which does not justify the application of capability procedures; or

the reviewer or the reviewee may request a meeting (a “revision meeting”) and that meeting shall be held within 10 days.

(2) Within 10 days of the revision meeting, the reviewer shall—

(a) record any changes in the plan agreed at the meeting in the form of an addendum to the original statement or, where there is no agreement, any changes he thinks ought to be made to the plan and sign the addendum;

(b) make the revised statement available to the reviewee, who may add his comments to the addendum;

(c) where the reviewer is not the authority, pass the signed revised statement to the authority;

(d) provide a copy of the revised statement to the reviewee; and

(e) where the addendum relates to the training and development of the reviewee, provide a copy of the addendum to the person responsible for planning the training and development of that teacher.

(3) Subject to the outcome of any appeal, the contents of the addendum shall be deemed to reflect the results of the revision meeting.

(4) The time limit specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) may be extended if the reviewer or reviewee is absent from work during that time.

(5) The statement shall not be revised unless a revision meeting has been held pursuant to paragraph (1).
