Branch Officials Course

It is essential that all Union Branch Officials be fully trained in their duties. This not only allows the smooth running of the Branches and gives added expertise to the senior lay officials in each Branch, but also ensures that all member’s claims and concerns are dealt with promptly and with skill.

A five-day residential programme covers:

Branch administration

Union structure

Legal issues

Employment law

This popular, accredited course is constantly updated and is an important factor in the Union’s education programme.

The course for 2012 will take place at Northern College, Barnsley from the 16th to the 20th of April. If you are interested in participating either click here to download an application form, or contact Michelle at Head Office on michelle.marino@bfawu.org

We are also running a half-day course for activists to enable them to have access to the Union's membership database. If you wish to be considered for inclusion, or just want to find out some more information, contact your Regional Office or Head Office, or email webdata@bfawu.org.
