There has been no change, and there will be no change, to the Scottish Government's No Compulsory Redundancy (NCR) policy.Engagement with public sector organisations and trade unions continues on wider workforce matters but, as there are no proposals to change the NCR policy there has been no discussions with staff or public sector trade unions on changes to the policy.
