Partnership Diary for Heads of Academic Departments and Schools and Faculty Directors

This diary has been developed in partnership with, and at the request of Heads of Departments to assist with activity planning and monitoring.

The tasks listed aim to capture key University requirements that are shared among Academic Departments, Faculties and Professional Services.

These tasks are generally the responsibility of Heads of Academic Departments or Faculty Directors. It is recognised however that many tasks are delegated, and the usual title of the delegated role is shown.

Names of staff contacts in the Professional Services are shown against each task or links are given to names and supporting information.

It is suggested that the Head or Director, along with the management team, reviews progress on current tasks and prepares for forthcoming tasks as required and reviews completed tasks where necessary.

This diary gives a rolling view of one year’s activities and will be revised three times annually, in November for the months January to April, in March for May to August and in July for September to December. A downloadable Word version is available on the right hand side.

It is intended that this tool should be dynamic and responsive to HoDs needs, and as such HoDs are asked to provide feedback on improvements to Roddy Flynn (r.flynn@shef.ac.uk)
