As noted above, the School Committee must prepare written feedback statements for unsuccessful applicants. The purpose of the feedback is to provide an unsuccessful applicant with a clear sense of what they would need to do in order to raise the level of their achievement to the standard required to obtain promotion in a future exercise.
Feedback statements must therefore provide clear information on the areas in which improvements are required, referring to the relevant Assessment Criteria and Indicators of Excellence, and provide practical advice on how the applicant might achieve these improvements. For example, they may suggest examples of service contributions that they would expect to see from someone at the level for which the applicant has applied.
