This information will be particularly useful for any arts therapists who are matching or going to a review panel.
This will help the postholder to demonstrate why they should have higher levels across the factors. This is being submitted for those seeking review of their matching at 7 and hoping for the 8 range. It will also be helpful to those banded at 6 and who feel this is inappropriate.

Matching has taken place at South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust (SW L & St G) and the outcomes are currently being assessed. The Early Implementing sites act as a test bed for the Agenda for Change (AfC), profiles are reviewed and revised to reflect the matching outcomes from these sites. Job descriptions describe the job and the post that you hold that will not change even if profiles are revised. Job descriptions should now therefore be reviewed, amended and signed off as requested.
