- Decision
- Carried
Conference welcomes the recent UNISON advert in ‘Diva’ magazine – July 2005 issue and would further welcome adverts in other such publications.
Conference notes with concern the omission of Police Staff within the list of service groups in which UNISON organise.
Conference further notes that Police Staff are the fastest growing service group within UNISON over the last 12 months and this continues to be the case. The Home Office has recently announced an increase of 25,000 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) nationally. This has the potential to further increase service group membership and the membership of not just this but all self organised groups.
Conference instructs the LGBT Committee to ensure that future adverts and literature is reflective of all LGBT members in all service groups.
