A UCU Interactive webinar for members in the Yorkshire and Humberside region 10.30am, Thursday 25 February 2021
Working Safely During the Pandemic will explore, through a collective lens, everything that needs to be done to keep us safe. Join this webinar if you want to share your views and support others. You might also find comfort and support from knowing that other members are facing the same challenges as you and what they are doing about it.
The full aims of the interactive webinar are to:
- understand why it’s important to unapologetically protect your health and wellbeing at this time
- identify some of the challenges you face in working safely whether from home, back in the workplace or a blend of the two
- be clear about what support you can expect from your employer
- identify support available from UCU.
How the webinar will work
The taught sessions will last for about 60 minutes, after which it may be possible to take 15-20 minutes to discuss issues raised with a UCU official, depending on availability. In that case the total time commitment will be less than an hour and a half.
You will need to find a quiet space, away from distractions (like telephone and email!), and you may prefer to use headphones for the session. I would also recommend that you check that you can use zoom before the session if you are unfamiliar with it.
I do need to stress that if you do say that you want to be involved I need you to treat that as a commitment as the webinar will be over-subscribed.
You will then be sent a meeting number and password for the webinar using zoom, along with a couple of points to think about before the webinar. You will be able to join the session from about 10 minutes before the stated start time. I would also recommend that you do join 5 to 10 minutes early as you will need to be admitted to the session, and of course there can be technical problems.
