The return of the School Support Staff Negotiating Body (SSSNB)
After more than a decade, the School Support Staff Negotiating Body (SSSNB) is set to return, and it could reshape

Our redundancy solicitors will take employers through every step of the process helping towards a fair outcome and the avoidance of future legal claims.
Making staff redundant is never an easy decision, but with the right legal advice you can reach fair outcomes and minimise disruption to both your employees and your business. Our lawyers can also help you avoid future legal claims by making sure the process is correctly managed from the start.
When considering a redundancy or reorganisation process, it’s important to get expert advice before you start. You must ensure the process is valid and justified. This may arise because your business is closing, merging, relocating, downsizing, or that the role or roles in question are no longer necessary. Depending on numbers, do you need a collective consultation? In any event, you must consult meaningfully with employees early on in the process to give them an opportunity to influence the outcome.
Tees has extensive experience guiding employers through redundancies, reorganisations and restructures. We have expertise in handling both individual and collective redundancies. Minimising disruption to your business and ensuring a smooth transition for all involved is at the heart of our approach.

The team is always keen to assist, providing articulate and accessible legal advice.
