UNISON South West Leadership Programme 2022 (POSTPONED)

21 March – 11 July 2022

Online

This course runs over 4 class-based modules of one day each, plus an online meeting for networking and discussing issues.  

This programme is aimed at stewards and activists who are taking a lead role in their branch, area or workplace.

It will help you develop leadership skills within the branch, prepare you to become a branch officer in the future and help you to organise more effectively in your workplace.  

It will cover:  

  • The role of leaders in the UNISON branch 
  • How to build an effective UNISON team 
  • Strategic recruitment  
  • Developing new activists 
  • Campaigning 
  • Communications and using social media effectively   
  • Having difficult conversations 
  • Building an effective branch.  

The programme includes class-based activities, a task to complete between modules, and you will be asked to complete a project based on your workplace/branch to be presented on the last Module.  

The tutor will also be available for one-to-one tutorials for the duration of the programme.  

 It is planned that the modules will be delivered face to face, however if the Covid situation has not improved by the start of the course, we may consider switching the modules to an online format – but will give you notice if this is the case.
