New Stewards Training Courses

by Nancy Kelly

The main training for new Stewards is the current three day Organising Steward course. Most new Stewards then follow that up with the two day Handling Grievances and Disciplinaries course.

From April 2011 this is all changing.

The main course for new Stewards (and the required training for accreditation) will be a new five day Organising Steward course.

The Scottish Learning and Organising Committee will be planning a series of the new courses as part of the annual programme and are looking for views on how the course should be delivered.

This could be as a five day block, one day a week for five weeks, two days together followed by three days together etc.

The key thing is that stewards will need to complete all five days to get accreditation and therefore time off may be an issue.

If you have views on how this would work best please let us know - email Nancy Kelly at n.kelly@unison.co.uk
