2021 National Police and Justice Conference

UNISON’s Police and Justice Service Group Committee has agreed to hold a Police and Justice Service Group Conference on Thursday 14 – Friday 15 October 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 branches 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 24^th June 2021

The Police and Justice Conference takes place over two days. The first session on Thursday and the second session on Friday consist primarily of debates on the motions submitted to conference. The second session on Thursday and the first session on Friday consists of plenary and workshop sessions on topics of relevance to the Service Group. All delegates may attend all sessions of conference but voting on motions is restricted to branch delegates. Delegates should attend all four sessions of Conference.

In the event that the government guidance restricts UNISON from holding a physical Conference, Police and Justice 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 and Branches 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 be registered as normal through the OCS.
