Conference notes the intensification of demands being placed on academic staff on probation and instructs the HEC to:
carry out a survey of existing practice in pre- and post- 92 institutions with a view to identifying good practice in terms of support given to staff on probation and profiles to be achieved in different disciplines for confirmation in post
work to establish a national agreement on probation which ensures that demands being placed on probationary staff can reasonably be achieved within the current timescales and are not contrary to agreed role profiles
initiate a campaign that highlights the increasing workload being placed on early career academics and provide support for branches in pursuing these campaigns.
