REF 2021: funders let universities submit redundant staff’s work

Your piece states: "the guidance says that academics who change from a teaching and research or research-only contract during a REF cycle are classed as former members of staff and that outputs which were first made publicly available when they were on their old contract are still eligible for submission." I can't find any reference to this, rather such submissions appear to be explicitly outlawed by paragraph 212. "The outputs of staff who continue to be employed by the institution as Category A eligible staff (i.e. meet the criteria set out in paragraph 117) but who no longer have significant responsibility for research on the census date are not eligible". These two statements appear to be incompatible. Can you please clarify?

Surely there’s a simple solution to David Sweeney’s concern about people who want their work submitted. Just require that the staff member has to agree to the submission of their work.
