Introduction

The purpose of this handbook is to provide heads of department with information that is specifically relevant to them. It aims to address the concerns and outline the main responsibilities of heads of department.

While this handbook aims to make it easier for heads of department to gain familiarity with the School's procedures and practices, it is fully recognised that they will need to make continued call upon the advice and assistance of members of the central administration. To this end, heads of department can now address their queries to Jane Pugh in Room U1006, ext. 6866, email: j:pugh@lse.ac.uk. Jane will act as a point of contact for heads of department unsure of whom to approach in the central administration, where possible dealing with queries personally, but otherwise directing them to the appropriate area for response.

Suggestions for the addition of items to this handbook, together with any other improvements, are very welcome and should be sent to Jane Pugh, email: j.pugh@lse.ac.uk.
