How Prejudiced Am I? – Understanding Power and Challenging Sectarianism

This 3 day course has been mandated by Regional Committee for all stewards. Sectarianism, racism, homo/transphobia occur in our workplaces. Generally it is very obvious when it results in a grievance or disciplinary but sometimes our own biases mean that we don’t always recognise it at institutional level or within the wider culture. This is a new course which will enable workplace reps to explore bias, develop strategies to promote workplace inclusion and tackle sectarianism in particular.

So there is not an automatic entitlement to apply. Places are limited and applicants are shortlisted based on their application form and then selected by interview. UNISON offers interview prep workshops in each Trust for those members shortlisted. We also recommend attending our free member workshops on clinical and non clinical topics and workshops such as Dignity in Health & Social Care can support the application and interview process.
