Positively Public - campaigning for quality public services

What is Positively Public?
Positively Public is UNISON's campaign for quality in our public services, and for recognition of the essential role of public service workers in achieving this.

Positively Public has campaigned on a range of public service issues, from the quality of school meals and hospital cleaning to the promotion of best practice. We have won widespread recognition and support for our evidence-based critiques of policies such as the Private Finance Initiative and have been successful in securing a number of important policy changes.

UNISON's strategy
UNISON has pursued a twin track approach to public service campaigning that opposes the privatisation and marketisation of public services in principle but also recognises that where reforms are going ahead, UNISON must get the best protections for our members.

UNISON campaigns for public services at international, national and local level, working with a diverse range of organisations who share our views on public services.

Campaign Issues
Positively Public challenges the drive to privatise and marketise public services and is currently campaigning across a range of issues and services.

All our evidence and experience shows that once services are run for private profit, the quality of care and service is reduced and the public service ethos is replaced by a hard-nosed profit motive.
