Save Union Learning!

The government has decided to scrap Union Learning Fund from March 2021. In 2019–20, the ULF was worth £12m. It supported more than 200,000 learners in workplaces across England – both union members and non-members.

This decision will effectively end union-brokered skills training and will undermine key government skills and retraining priorities at a crucial moment for our economy. UNISON and her sister unions believe this decision is counterproductive and must be reversed.  

Please sign the petition to stop the government attack on our education.

Urgent message for practicing Social Workers…

Social workers need to renew their registration in their online account before 30 November 2020 or risk being removed from the register.

It is a legal requirement to renew registration in order to continue to use the protected title of ‘social worker’.
Social Work England’s professional standard relating to CPD sets out what the social worker also needs to do maintain their registration.

All social workers who want to continue to practice in England must renew their registration annually. The renewal period is between 1 September 2020 and 30 November 2020.

In order to renew their registration social workers, need to;

• Activate their online account
• Check contact and employment details are correct
• Record CPD on their online account
