The Origins, Role and Impact of Union Learning Representatives in the UK and other CountriesThis year saw over 25,000 union learning representatives (ULRs) trained since 1999. This working paper outlines the origins and development of union learning representatives in England. It examines how ULRs have been a central feature of government-supported union capacity building on learning and skills over the last decade. They have been increasingly recognised by government as intermediaries that can engage with ?hard-to-reach? employees and help stimulate and meet their demand for learning and skills. It summarises recent research on their profile, role and impact. The working paper also compares and contrasts ULRs in England with the development of learning representatives in other countries. It concludes that a statutory framework is now required which optimises union and ULR leverage on employers in the delivery of high quality learning opportunities.
