This course is for all representatives and branch officers.
Note: This course or Equality in your Branch training, must be done within two years of appointment.
Equality is written into our rule book and into our objectives and policies but making equality part of everyday business is no small task. Making equality central to your union practice is a course that explores internal and external tools, which can support equality bargaining, negotiating, and representation.
The course also looks at how to identify equality themes in organising and recruitment, as well as considering the different equality roles in UNISON and how you can utilise their support.
The aims of this course are:
• To understand Equality in UNISON
• To introduce equality legislation and how you can use it in your role as a UNISON activist
• To make equality central to your union practice
• To find out more about UNISON’s equality campaigns
• To look at how you can contribute to your branch equality action plan
Dates: We advise Stewards to book onto this Equality Training approximately three months after completing their initial Stewards Training.
