The Follett Principles


November 2003

In a number of our communications to clinical academic staff over the past few months, we have referred to the implementation of the Follett Principles.

The Follett Review reported in September 2001 and made a number of recommendations regarding the appraisal, disciplinary and reporting arrangements for senior clinical academic staff. A key principle is joint working to integrate separate responsibilities.

The report is available from the Department for Education and Skills website, at www.dfes.gov.uk/follettreview/
