PART 1: APPENDIX 1.3 - LOCAL FRAMEWORK RECOGNITION AND PROCEDURE AGREEMENT
The Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT) requires there to be a Local Negotiating Committee for Teachers (LNCT) in each council.
LNCTs have the powers to vary certain devolved conditions of service agreements and to reach agreement on a range of matters not subject to national bargaining. National matters remain to be negotiated nationally while devolved matters can be varied by agreement locally.
In addition, councils must meet the requirements of The Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004 (SI 2004/3426). Further information on this requirement is provided in Annex A.
All local agreements must be reported to the SNCT for information.
National and devolved matters are defined as follows:
