Redundancy Selection Criteria Guidance - August 2026

2. Method of Selection

The Authority will consider the most appropriate selection method, taking account of any particular requirements of the organisation at this time.

Where a service restructure results in potential redundancies of existing roles but also creates new roles, the method of selection for new roles will be in line with the Authority’s Restructure Policy and Recruitment and Selection procedures to appoint from within the eligible pool of employees.

Where there are no significant changes to roles, but there is a diminishing need for these roles, the method of selection will generally be by using a redundancy selection matrix, assessing employees against objective selection criteria.
