Challenging Excessive Workload in Education - CPD Training

About this event

In order to tackle rising workloads and the resulting work-related stress that many members of staff are experiencing, we need to take a collective approach to pushing back on excessive workload.

Lboro UCU branch has organised an online CPD workshop, open to all staff, which will help staff with the tools to take a collective approach and push back on excessive workload. Masters and PhD students are also welcome to attend the session.

Please come along and invite your colleagues (including those who may not be UCU members).

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
  • Contact details

  • Booking information
