8. A report like this can help identify those who have not been observed or those who require a follow up observation due to a poor recent observation.

In this example: Tom David will have ‘line manager’ access rights to Anita Abell’s record, and Adrian Blacker will have appraiser access rights to Anita Abell’s record. Where the line manager does not conduct the appraisals, schools can define a different appraiser OR multiple appraisers for each individual.
