This Guidance is intended primarily for the use of HR specialists in councils who will be receiving staff. A copy has been sent directly to council leaders.

The transition guidance has been developed by the LGA with the help of a small contact group from councils and regional employers as well as the Department of Health and NHS employment experts.

Detailed discussions have been held with a group of trade unions, including those recognised in local government as well as the Royal College of Nursing and the British Medical Association.
