Workplace stewards are the foundation of our union and last year UNISON proudly welcomed nearly 500 new stewards and safety representatives into our ranks, significantly strengthening our network across Scotland.

We offer training on representation, negotiation, health and safety, communication, campaigning, equalities and tackling discrimination and branch officer roles– to name just a few.

Our courses are friendly and informal. You don’t need any formal qualifications. We want to equip you with the essential skills you need to advocate for the rights and working conditions of those dedicated to delivering public services in Scotland.
