Confidentiality
PDR process for 2026: We are launching an improved PDR framework. New guidance and documents will be shared in early June. The new PDR cycle officially begins in July.
The review is confidential to the reviewee, reviewer and the reviewer's line manager - and if this is not the Head of Department (HoD), then the HoD may also review the PDR form for consistency, to review future plans, and learning/ development needs.
In order to coordinate learning and development programmes, the HoD may also ask their nominated administrative support to collate training needs at a departmental level.
