VRS calculations
Please note that a number of pension calculations have now been received from SPFO and we anticipate that they will be issued in batches over the next working week or so. Each of those whose figures are ready will receive (or already has) an email to confirm security details (for GDPR purposes) to ensure that the figures are sent to the correct email address – please respond to this email as soon as possible if you have not already done so. Enhanced redundancy figures will be issued in the same way.
If you have not received any communication but have requested figures please note that they are still being processed and we will issue to you as soon as possible. Please do not email unless you have not requested figures but now wish to do so.

Individual consultation meetings have now been concluded with all 375 Early Learning Practitioners being met with by E&F Managers and Human Resources Officers. Thank you to all of you for coming along and participating in the meetings. Thank you also to the TU representatives for being available to support staff. We will now update the Q&A document with any new questions that have arisen at these meetings to ensure all information is being shared consistently.
The HR team have now been mapping ELP’s preferred options, expressed during the meetings and we are aware that many people are awaiting the VRS financial calculations in order to assist in their decision making. It is our intention to issue Enhanced Redundancy calculations and SPFO Pension information to ELP’s personal email addresses over the next few weeks as they become available.
Please note that you will first receive an email requesting confirmation of your email address (for security purposes) and thereafter your figures will be issued. Employees will receive this email only when their figures are received from SPFO (not all figures are being received at the same time). The team will then issue the figures when they are ready to be sent.
The team can be contacted at the following email address ELCHRenquiries@northlan.gov.uk and are happy to take any further questions. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Individual Consultation Meetings
Individual consultation meetings were held in May / June 2023 in every early learning establishment to ensure that all those in scope had the opportunity to discuss and understand the proposals. Meetings were conducted by an Education and Families Manager and an HR Representative. Where employees were members of Trade Unions a TU Rep was also available on the day.
