Statutory and compliance training: manager guidance

If you have not already done so, please read our introduction to the statutory and compliance training programme.

Responsibilities of managers

It is the responsibility of managers to:

  • with their Head of Department, identify the statutory and compliance training appropriate for their staff, including:
    • identifying training which should form part of an individual's induction programme
    • arranging for any statutory and compliance training required that is beyond the University of York's central provision
  • agree with their staff members that this statutory and compliance training is both relevant and timely
  • determine and record if any prior learning is sufficient to meet the University's requirements (although some staff may have received training elsewhere, much of the statutory and compliance provision will be placed in the context of the practices and processes of the University)
  • prioritise the attendance of staff at training events based on factors such as relevance, timeliness and training availability
  • ensure staff are booked on the identified training
  • keep records of their staff's attendance and follow up should any staff:
    • fail to attend
    • fail to reach the appropriate competence
  • take appropriate action based on any update or amendment to the University's statutory and compliance training provision
