SAP Review Phase 2

Phase 2 began formally with a kick-off meeting in September 2024, and since then, the targeted working groups and SAP Review Steering Group have been progressing through a series of tasks designed to bring Trinity towards new criteria for promotion and a revised process and procedure. Please see below an overview of the project flow and working group membership.

Flow of the Project

SAP steering group graphThe SAP Integration Group will combine, distil and calibrate the draft Faculty criteria, consult stakeholders, and put forward draft Faculty/College criteria for the SAP Steering group to recommend for onward consideration

Faculty Working Groups will collect draft criteria and indicators from their schools and consolidate them into Faculty criteria, involving the Faculty's external SAPC member in their discussions. The three Faculty Working Groups will coordinate efforts

Faculty working groups will engage with each school and gather draft criteria for review by FWG in the first instance and consult with all relevant Faculty Stakeholders.

Working in parallel, the SAP Process and Procedure Group will review the procedure (including DDUH), the process and timing of promotion rounds, the application form, the role of the Head of School report, external referees, personal circumstances, the weighting of criteria and scoring, and feedback and appeals.
