The University will provide each new academic member of staff with a nominated individual to act as senior colleague for the probationary period (usually 3 years). The probationary member of staff will be notified of their senior colleague in the letter of appointment. It will be the responsibility of the Head of School to ensure that the probationer is introduced to their senior colleague as soon as possible after commencing their appointment at the University.

Research Leave
Research leave is reserved primarily for a period of research and scholarship. "Research and scholarship" should be widely defined to embrace laboratory research, whether of an individual or collective nature, fieldwork, involving the gathering of data and liaising with outside professional bodies, library-based research and the writing up of research projects in a form suitable for publication. This definition includes research leading to the preparation of applications to outside grant-awarding bodies for funds, and the preparation of research theses for submission.
