Challenging Excessive Workload in Education (Cardiff)
Online interactive workshop (Zoom)
What to expect,
In order to tackle rising workloads and the resulting work-related stress that many members are experiencing, we need to take a collective approach to pushing back on excessive workload.
Please join us for this important and informative session.
The full aims of the interactive workshop are to:
- identify why excessive workload is so damaging to education and staff
- Identify collective responses to tackling excessive workloads
- Develop an understanding of workload as a health and safety issue
- Make members aware of the UCU campaign on workload and how they can contribute
How the workshop will work,
You will need to find a quiet space, away from distractions (like telephone and email), and you may prefer to use headphones for the session. I would also recommend that you check that you can use zoom before the session if you are unfamiliar with it.
Please note that you will need to join the meeting within 15 minutes of the start time and that we will not be able to admit latecomers who are more than 15 minutes late. This is due to the fact that in order to ensure that breakout groups work effectively we need to give detailed instructions at the outset which it will be impractical to repeat.
We plan to use the zoom “chat” function during the session. If that will in any way inhibit your full participation please contact us beforehand so that alternative arrangements can be made. You will need to find a quiet space, away from distractions (like telephone and email!), and you may prefer to use headphones for the session. I would also recommend that you check that you can use zoom before the session if you are unfamiliar with it.
Live transcription will be available. We are passionately committed to ensuring that everyone can fully participate in UCU CPD sessions so if you need us to make any additional facilities available to you please get in touch as soon as you can. We will do everything possible to help.
