Please note the Alternative Employment Programme is for Cumbria County Council employees only

The Alternative Employment Programme (AEP) has been developed to ensure that whenever possible the council retains the valuable skills, experiences and knowledge of its employees.  This also means that employees have the opportunity to continue working at the council and continue to deliver excellent services.

Guidance is provided to support employees who find themselves at risk and also information to help support recruiting and line managers using the AEP.
