Staffing Numbers. Staffing requirements were calculated on the basis of the current number of staff carrying out particular roles at each Council, with an adjustment for economies of scale based on the judgement of the Core Group. The organisational structure was designed over the course of the project and once finalised the following vaildations were made to ensure its fitness for purpose: Professional input from both Councils i.e. using managers that may be tasked with delivering the service to validate the structures; Comparison with a high performing low cost Council (with a similar caseload and number of dwellings to the combined Dartford and Sevenoaks volumes); Taking account of challenge and constructive input from Meritec consultants and the Project Board; and Comparison with the two current structure diagrams ensuring each role is covered and that all tasks can be allocated within the structure.
