Surrey County UNISON branch

A number of ASWs, alongside Paul Couchman (UNISON Adults Services Convenor), will be attending the first meeting of the new ASWs' Workshops, chaired by Dave Sargeant tomorrow.

The meeting will be at the Runnymede Centre and will discuss a number of issues, including recruitment and retention, career pathways and caseloads.

It is important to remember that we now have these meetings only because the ASWs were prepared to take action. The meetings are part of a package accepted by the ASWs in settlement of their recent dispute over hours.

Any major news from the meetings will be posted here.
