“The University has paid a private consulting company KPMG to produce a report to justify redundancies, which they are refusing to share with the trade unions.” Would love to know how much money uni leaders across UK have spent on consultants rather than talking to staff about workloads & savings.

Hi everyone - I am looking for work to supplement the two days I will have at Lancaster University from August and would appreciate your support. I’m close to Lancashire Archives if anyone needs any work doing there, or I can travel to other archives.

So come August, with one of my Lancaster posts being made redundant, I’ll be looking for work. If you’ve got any research you need doing (palaeography included), I’m available. Let me know. Also on the off chance that anyone needs a soprano soloist, that’s me too.
