UNISON has made the decision to begin the re-commencement of physical UNISON Rule Book Conferences for 2021.
UNISON’s Young Members Group Forum has agreed to hold a Young Members Conference on Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th December 2021.
Under current government guidelines, we would not be able to hold a physical conference, but with the dynamic COVID-19 situation we find ourselves in, things may change.
We think it is really important to put plans in place so that if we can hold physical conferences in 2021, we will do so.
With this in mind, we have opened Online Conferencing System (OCS) to allow regions to register delegates and submit motions in line with the rule-book requirements.
Please note the deadline to submit motions on OCS is
12.00 noon on Thursday 12th August 2021
The Young Members Conference takes place over three days. All delegates may attend all sessions of conference but voting on motions is restricted to regional delegates. Delegates should attend all sessions of Conference.
In the event that the government guidance restricts UNISON from holding a physical Conference, Young Members Conference 2021 will revert to a virtual conference.
In this event, there will be some changes to the way that Conference is conducted.
All registered delegates will be informed of any changes to the delivery of Conference
The conference bulletin will have further information on motion submission from the SOC and submission deadlines.
Delegates should contact their region to be registered via their regional contact through the OCS.
If you have any queries, please contact the Conference Office at conferences@unison.co.uk
