For principal teachers and above, staff must have their PRD facilitated by the appropriate member of central staff /Line Manager in their PU year and during one school session approximately mid-way through the PU process.  In the interim school sessions, they may choose to have their PRD facilitated by a peer reviewer and should arrange this with a colleague in a similar role.
