*UNISON Definition of Black
Black members: in UNISON ‘Black’ is used to indicate people with a shared history. Black with a capital ‘B’ is used in its broad political and inclusive sense to describe people in Britain that have suffered colonialism and enslavement in the past and continue to experience racism and diminished opportunities in today’s society.

FAQs
How much will it cost?
There should be no cost to you except for your time on the day. All you need to do is get yourself to the venue.
This will be an inclusive event, so refreshments and lunch will be provided. UNISON members should be able to claim their travel expenses back form their respective UNISON Branches and the Committee members from the region.
Can I bring my children?
Yes. Although the meeting is for UNISON members, we are looking at providing creche facilities for those with young families which we hope will aid attendance for those with carer responsibilities. If this applies to you, please provide details below.
