UCU: Combatting far right in FE

Motion

Motion text: Conference notes
1. the work of Reclaim in fighting political moves to the far right and its impact
on young people
2. that LGBT+ lives are often a primary focus point for far right hate. This has
an impact on young people who are finding their identity and those who
support them, including staff in FE.
Conference believes that the impact on young people will be felt all the more by
the Labour Government freezing the level of investment in FE.
Conference calls for
a. promotion of the work of Reclaim and others in fighting the far right in FE and
national and branch level
b. guidance similar to Educators against the far right for FE staff and for branches
to contribute including what actions can be taken by UCU within institutions. This
work should include contributions from FE members across the UCU equality
groups.
