We appreciate that the ongoing financial challenges to reduce spending will regrettably mean redundancies for some public sector workers. For many this is likely to be unfamiliar territory and organisations will be doing their best to avoid redundancies. Where this is unavoidable we understand that they will want to do everything they possibly can to support staff who have been identified as being "at risk" as well as those who will be leaving, many of whom will have long and loyal service.

Our experience tells us that individuals value support that includes a range of choices they can make for themselves and which includes opportunities to discuss their individual situation and craft solutions that work for them.

Our suggested approach focuses on:-

• Affordability - for organisational budget holders who are experiencing very tight constraints.
• Tailored Support - an outplacement service based predominantly on 1:1 coaching that is tailored to suit the individual and incorporates some elements of choice.
• Offering empathy, market knowledge and practical support to help build individual confidence.
• Lifelong learning - supporting individuals to become "pro-active" in learning the skills of jobsearch for themselves so they can move on again to other roles in the future.
• A partnership approach - using facilities and resources wherever possible within your organisation.
