Reps in the post-16/FE sector

ATL reps play a vital role providing bespoke information and support to our growing membership working in post-compulsory education settings.

To help reps in the post-16 and FE sector listen to members' concerns and inform them about issues relevant to them, ATL has developed the following FE reps toolkit:

• Campaign against FE funding cuts (including resources for reps)

• ATL factsheet for reps on redundancy in the FE sector

• ATL factsheet for reps about the protection of children and vulnerable adults in FE colleges

• ATL factsheet for reps on restructuring in FE colleges

• ATL factsheet for reps about pay and conditions in the FE sector

• ATL factsheet on diplomas

• ATL factsheet about teaching qualifications and CPD in the FE sector

• The workforce strategy for the FE sector in England, 2007 - 2012

• Implementing the workforce strategy: a guide for learning providers

• Exemplar college newsletter

• Style guidelines for local newsletters

• FE and sixth form reps' guidance on facilities time and time off agreements (updated)

• Equality impact assessment guide and EIA pro forma

You can also download a guide to the diploma wallchart produced by the DCSF, ATL, AMiE and other unions. Order more wallcharts by calling 0845 6022260 or faxing 0845 6033360 and quoting reference 00371-2009POS-EN.
