23 September 2023 10:30am–4:00pm
UNISON Centre, 130 Euston Road, London, NW1 2AY
UNISON is holding a seminar for social worker stewards and members on the theme of UNISON standing up for social workers.
The seminar will be primarily workshop based, focusing on key issues such as:
- How UNISON helps members if they are referred to their professional regulator or think they should self-refer
- How the Year of Black Workers helps UNISON focus at all levels on challenging racism in the workplace
- How social worker self-care is more than a personal responsibility – focusing on employers’ obligations
- How to recruit and organise around social worker pay
There will also be a networking session for delegates to link up with other social worker members from their nation/region.
We are offering branches the opportunity to send two delegates and seminar numbers will be limited to 90 places.
The cost of the seminar is £45 per delegate payable by branches. This charge covers refreshments, lunch, and administrative costs for the event. A creche will be available.
Branches can book delegates places at the seminar by using UNISON’s online conference system. The deadline for registration is Monday 4 September:
Payment of the delegate fee will be arranged after the seminar and will be deducted from branch funding. Please note that branches registering delegates on the OCS are agreeing to seminar costs being recovered directly from their branch funding. UNISON branches will also be responsible for the cost of travel and any accommodation delegates require to attend.
