UNISON agreement with College for Social Care

Public services union UNISON has agreed in principle to an arrangement with The College for Social Care for the union to represent College members. The College in turn will provide professional advice services to UNISON social work members.

The two will draw up a memorandum of understanding which will lead to a signed "service level agreement" for England, in the hope it will become UK-wide. Both unions will remain independent with separate databases of members.
