Congress notes:
1. The proliferation of outsourced/private education providers in both HE and FE represents a clear threat to terms and conditions.
2. UCU has taken big steps forward in one provider (Study Group) with the successful recognition campaign at Sussex International College and the first ever strike in an outsourced higher education provider in the UK at the University of Sheffield International College, which secured a pay award of 10% for most staff and 8% for managerial staff over two years.
3. Ongoing grassroots efforts to win recognition in further outsourced/private education providers.
4. Winning recognition and organising in outsourced/private education providers is essential to ending privatisation and outsourcing.
Congress resolves:
a. To conduct a mapping exercise of existing UCU members working in private/outsourced education providers to identify potential targets for recruitment and recognition campaigns.
b. To restate and remind branches of existing UCU policy on outsourced/private education providers.
