Question
To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to ensure that there are no compulsory redundancies within the college sector.
Answer
Operational decisions on pay and staffing matters are the responsibility of individual colleges.
The Scottish Government expects every effort to be made, in consultation with trade unions, to protect jobs. The Scottish Government has been clear that compulsory redundancies should only be considered as a last resort, after all other options have been fully explored in collaboration with trade unions.
