Our five-day new stewards course is a useful introduction to the role of a trade union representative, but it can’t cover everything you need to know.

This course, hosted over the One Weekend, will further explore representation skills for ERA-certified stewards.

What will the course help me to do?

The course reinforces some approaches and procedures introduced in the new stewards course and explores in more detail.

It explains further for identifying needs and exploring what is and isn’t a case. It recaps on sources of information especially the ACAS code.

The course prepares for a grievance and a capability case, planning and building a case including interviewing witnesses and possible outcomes from cases.

It aims to build confidence, getting organised and looking after yourself as a steward.
