JNC coroners management side circular to local authorities - pay and next steps

In our last circular issued on 12 June we gave a further update on the coroner’s pay bargaining situation. Since then, the Ministry of Justice has shared with us correspondence between the CSEW and the Lord Chancellor, David Lammy MP.

Driver 6: Recognition

Recognition is about feeling that professional contribution is seen, respected and valued. It includes being able to see the positive difference one’s work makes to people, families and communities.

Flexibility refers to how work is organised to reflect different life stages and responsibilities to achieve a good work life balance, while maintaining service quality.

Driver 4: Wellbeing

Wellbeing is about having sustainable working conditions that protect mental, emotional and physical health. It is a shared organisational responsibility, not an individual coping strategy.
