Equal Opportunities For Training

This Annual Conference notes that many members who are primary carers are being restricted from partaking in some Fire and Rescue Services training courses due to management’s lack of consideration for childcare. We believe that all our members should be given the same opportunities for training without the individual incurring unnecessary childcare costs. Conference calls on all Brigade Officials to enter into negotiations with management to ensure that childcare is given serious consideration when planning and offering courses to employees. We further call upon the Executive Council to report this issue back to Annual Conference 2008.
