There are four weeks left for Second Line Reviewers to review and authorise appraisals.
All consistency checks must be completed by 15 October 2023.
Second Line Reviewers have responsibility for quality assuring the Level 4-7 appraiser’s assessment of the appraisee, to ensure contribution descriptors are awarded fairly.
Second line reviewers need to:
- Read the appraisal overall contribution notes and proposed contribution descriptors.
- If required, discuss the contribution descriptor with the appraiser.
- Enter the confirmed contribution descriptor.
- Add any additional comments you wish to make.
- Approve the form using the ‘Authorise’ button once all the above have been complete.
We recommend you access your MyView dashboard regularly to review and authorise your assigned appraisals. Please note, you will not receive automatic prompts to remind you to complete your second line reviews.
Second Line Reviewers will usually be the appraiser’s Line Manager; however, this may vary depending on individual circumstances. Second Line Reviewers must carry out the consistency check with an awareness of any potential biases, and should have completed unconscious bias training.
