Special Leave

Special leave is available to all employees of the council for a wide range of reasons which may be with or without pay. 

The scheme is divided into two sections: Section 1 specifically covers matters to support work-life balance and Section 2 covers leave for National, Public, and Community Service and other special circumstances.

Any application for special leave must be submitted initially to your line manager or Head Teachers for onward submission to Heads of Service giving as much notice as possible. Appointment cards or other notifications should be shown, where available. As with annual leave, requests for special leave should be submitted through Oracle Fusion.

For detailed information, you should refer to the appropriate section within the Scheme of Special Leave.
