Dear Sir/Madam,

I write following the meeting held on DATE. As we discussed, the organisation may need to make redundancies.  

The organisation is considering making NUMBER employees within the [specified team/department/section/location] redundant because REASONS. Unfortunately, your post is one of those at risk of redundancy.

What happens next?

The organisation will now start the consultation process. The purpose of consultation is to:

·      discuss and explore ways of avoiding or reducing the number of redundancies and reach agreement if possible

·      give you the opportunity to make suggestions and raise any questions you may have

·      consider possible suitable alternative employment within the organisation

·      seek to agree criteria for selecting staff if redundancies are necessary [or explain the selection process agreed with the [relevant trade union/employee representative body]]

·      identify your needs during the process and provide you with any necessary support or assistance  

I want to make it clear that no decisions have been taken yet and that no decision on this will be made until the consultation has concluded.

Who will we consult with?

·      use A if you will collectively consult with a recognised trade union or members of an existing employee forum

·      use B if you will elect employee representatives from the workforce to collectively consult with

·      use C if you have no recognised trade union or employee representative body and will individually consult with staff at risk of redundancy

How long will the consultation last?
