At UCU we advocate for all faculty in our campaigns to improve working conditions at Richmond. We are interested in ensuring faculty workloads are reasonable and fair. We also want to improve opportunities for personal and career development at Richmond. We support the implementation of the Faculty Promotion and Progression (FPP) scheme as a way to address these issues, however, our members have raised concerns about the trial faculty appraisals, progression and promotion scheme. 

We seek your feedback on the recent trial of the faculty promotion and progression (FPP) scheme, and your experience of the appraisals process. 

There has been ongoing concern about the faculty progression, promotion, and workload (FPPW) which we recognise and your views on your experiences of the trial will be invaluable in ensuring a fair and viable model is developed.

Your views are very important to us, but your participation is entirely voluntary. All information provided by you will be anonymised to protect your identity. The feedback from faculty will be collated and used to feedback to the University Executive Team. It is hoped feedback will be used to help improve FPP moving forward. 

Many thanks for your time and your contributions to this important issue for us all. 

We are always looking for help and ideas from members, so please contact us if you wish to contribute to the work of the union.

We are stronger together!
