Disability Champions@WorkThe Disability Champions@Work project is for members of all TUC affiliated trade unions. Once identified, potential Champions will complete a training course to equip them with the knowledge, skills and tools to carry out their role. Disability Champions are trade union representatives with an interest in disability issues. They are extremely diverse incorporating a wide range of sectors. The common thread is a desire to see genuine equality for disabled people in the world of work. During the training Champions will establish the role within their workplace by carrying out workplace activities involving their colleagues at work, other trade union reps and their management teams.

Can I get time off to learn?Union representatives who wish to attend TUC courses in working time should first ask their employer for time off with pay. The Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and the Safety Representatives and Safety Committee Regulations 1977 give accredited union and safety representatives a legal right to reasonable time off with pay to attend courses approved by the TUC or their union. Guidance towards establishing what constitutes reasonable time off can be found in the ACAS Code of Practice (http://www.acas.org.uk/publications/pdf/CP03.pdf). Representatives who find difficulty in obtaining paid time off to attend TUC courses should seek assistance from their senior union representative or full time union officer. Can I get time off for online courses?Online learning* should not be seen as an alternative to paid release from work. The law still applies, whether learning takes place away from work or in work, at a workstation or in a company learning centre. How much is the course?This course is free for all recognised union reps from TUC member unions.
