Use this template and add further questions specific to your school's setting. Use the questions as prompts in an exit interview or give the document to the exiting staff member as a questionnaire to fill in.
There is no statutory requirement to hold interviews
If you choose to hold them, be consistent and aim to hold an exit interview with all staff who leave. Set out your process in a relevant policy, such as a staff induction policy, or recruitment and retention policy, if you have them.
Employees can choose not to take part, and you should make it clear that the interview is optional.
