The application closing date for Fast Track Status is Friday, 31st January.
For those of you who missed the blog post and intranet article, the new process, ‘Fast Track status’, allows for expedited procedures to operate (within selected KE units) thereby enabling them to operate in a more entrepreneurial manner. Fast Track status will be provided by application to KE units that request such status and subject to central audit by both RKE Operations and Legal Services to ensure that the processes are operating within agreed BU policies and the KE strategies of Schools.
The application form and guidance can be found here.
