Updating UCU model rules and standing orders, and roles guidance
Meeting date

Motion

Motion text

Congress notes:
1. UCU’s Branch Officer roles guidance doesn’t include descriptions of all officer roles, including Anti-Casualisation Officer, Health and Safety Officer, ARPS Officer (https://www.ucu.org.uk/article/4790/Branch-officer-roles)
2. ARPS representation isn’t included in UCU Branch Model Rules or Regional Committee Model Standing Orders
Congress believes:
a. Lack of formal representation can intensify feelings of exclusion
b. Elected committees should be representative of job types across the membership
Congress resolves:
i. Update UCU Branch Officer Guidance, working with relevant specialist committees to produce role descriptions (e.g. ARPS and Anti-Casualisation Committees)
ii. Communicate changes to all branch/regional executives, to support ratification at the earliest opportunity.
