Other than change in reporting lines, specific effects will be: Creation of the role Director, Student Experience Accommodation services will combine to form a new unit bringing some work design changes. A review of design change processes to align them is envisaged, but there are no plans to physically move staff. The Director IT role will be expanded and become Chief Information Officer (CIO)

It is not envisaged these changes will make any position redundant. Primary changes will be to reporting lines and, in a few cases, to workflow.
