Years of outsourcing of public services have led to substantial deterioration in services and in the terms and conditions of members. Now some public organisations are open to the idea of bringing services back in house.
This course aims to persuade employers, members, and the public of the benefits of insourcing and will cover the following areas:
• Winning the arguments
• Identifying key targets
• Identifying allies
• Agitating for change and building a campaign
• Creating an action time-line

Equality is written into our rule book and into our objectives and policies, but making equality part and parcel of everyday business is no small task. Making equality central to your union practice is a course that explores internal and external tools, which can support equality bargaining, negotiating, and representation. The course also looks at how to identify equality themes in organising and recruitment, as well as considering the different equality roles in UNISON and how you can utilise their support.
