The Employment Act 2002 gives statutory recognition to union learning representatives. The aim is to encourage lifelong learning among union members. To this end the EIS is trying to establish a learning rep in every FE college. At the moment I only know what is in the EIS webite. The role of the FE learning rep is to inform lecturers of learning opportunities they may be able to take advantage of.
More information about the Learning Representative is available on TUC Education - Union Learn
