What is the HR Network?

We hold HR Network events three times per year for School Business Managers and those with HR responsibilities in schools to discuss HR topics and share best practice approaches. We have a spotlight topic at each event and regular guest speakers to keep you up to date in employment legislation and HR best practice. 

We promote the HR Network in our termly HR newsletters and you can book your place by emailing  hrschools@gloucestershire.gov.uk. Please submit any topics you wish to see on the agenda to discuss as a group – or any ideas for our HR spotlight topic.
