Organising Steward Course Dates 2025

For all new stewards the first step is to undertake our Organising stewards training. The first dates for 2025 are now available. Booking will open soon. We understand that to request time off as a new active member you need as much notice to ensure the request is granted. Your local branch will be happy to support you.

Learning for NEW STEWARDS!

Getting active in your union can be tricky but our training programme can help you build the skills and knowledge to understand your union more and gain confidence to support your colleagues.

The role of the UNISON Steward is a great role to get you more involved in your union.

– Understand the role of an organising union in public services
– Work with members to tackle issues in the workplace
– Work with members in resolving cases
– Know where and when to seek advice and guidance
– Understand how procedures work in practice

You will be expected to be able to attend all five dates in order to complete the course and gain your accreditation.
