Overview
The line manager is responsible for the management of staff members who are assigned to them.
Being assigned as a line manager allows them to add objectives, take part in conversations using blog posts, add evidence, manage monitoring and track the progress of staff assigned to them as their line manager.
The exact functionality will depend on what an individual institution wishes to use, for example, it may decide not to use teaching standards in staff portfolios.
