Stewards Reaccreditation Training – ERA Refresher Training
The course is designed to meet the requirements of the Employment Relations Act (ERA) recertification.
It is UNISON policy that every steward attends a refresher course every five years to maintain their accreditation to represent members under the Employment Rights Act. If you think you are approaching the five year point please speak to your branch.
It involves group work and discussion. It is also a good opportunity to network and share ideas and experiences.
The course will:
- Update reps on new legislation relevant to their role
- Introduce new developments in UNISON
- Develop new skills and ideas including preparing for, and representing, cases and encouraging and supporting new activists.
ONLINE via MS Teams | 2 x 1/2 days – Morning
You should make your Branch aware that you are attending this course in order for them to keep their records up to date and ensure you receive up to date information relevant to your role.
If you are in need of support to request time off from your work to attend please talk to the branch to gain support.
When attending any UNISON course or event you should never be out of pocket. Please keep receipts for parking , bus fare , train travel and speak with your branch about claiming these costs back or for gaining support for them to help you book in advance.
You may have a local policy to support with gaining reasonable time off to attend training from your employer. There is also guidance via ACAS – Time off advice
