- Motion text
Over recent years, there has been a diversion of funds into private sector provision, leading to:
reduced pay and conditions for staff
poor or fraudulent services to 'clients'
an increasing 'revolving door' between elected politicians and privatised services
exclusion of publicly funded providers such as FE colleges from making applications for major contracts (eg. Flexible New Deal) – because they do not meet the financial the criteria.
FE and Adult Education providers are looking for new ways to expand their business” opportunities. The 157 Group is leading the way.
This conference agrees to:
campaign alongside PCS and other unions against the expansion of publicly funded private sector provision eg. in job centre provision
to lobby against the expansion of the business” objective and the competitive” agenda, over service to the local community
campaign against colleges using their funding to contribute to the 157 Group.
