IPSA Consultation: ‘Professionalising the career path for MPs’ staff’

Standard

The IPSA has opened a consultation entitled ‘Professionalising the career path for MPs’ staff’, and is inviting responses from MPs, staff and the general public.

As well as looking at training, it also seeks views on, but not limited to the following:

  • pay band structure
  • job families (One of the proposals is to create an additional leadership level above the three existing job families.)
  • job titles, roles and descriptions
  • default number of working hours per week
  • a proposed ring-fenced staff development budget for training, health and welfare

The consultation closes on 31 October 2025 and can be found here: https://www.theipsa.org.uk/publications/consultations

Office Restructure familiarisation sessions

Standard

This session, aimed at MPs and their HR proxies, is run by the Members’ HR Advice Service to supplement the Best Practice Guide to Office Restructures.

The session will provide information about how to manage restructuring the office when you are considering reorganising your staffing resources to respond to changing priorities. It will cover employer responsibilities and provide practical advice about the best practice approach to managing the restructure process effectively. This will help you to ensure staff are treated fairly, properly consulted, and supported.

More information about the support available from the Members’ HR Advice Service will also be provided
