Court Deputy Secretary, Dorothy Welch, said:

"We promised at the outset, that we will do our utmost to see that staff moving to Tay House will have all the information they need about this big change.

"It is equally important that they have the chance to comment, discuss and feedback their thoughts. I would also like to thank they very large number of people who took time to complete the Leesman workplace survey that was circulated earlier this month. That information is going to be very important in our efforts to make Tay House a good place to work and for how we continue to improve working conditions within the University."
