Coming soon to Thanet

On 22nd October, Elizabeth Oyedemi (TSSA Learning Rep, London Bridge), Madeleine Richards (TSSA Dyslexia Project Worker), and Kendal May (TSSA Lead Learning Rep, Southeastern) spent a day meeting the staff at London Bridge to discuss Learning issues and raise awareness of Dyslexia in the workplace.

Thank you to everyone who we met and, as a direct result of speaking with the staff, we are looking to offer a 'Workplace Signing Day' at London Bridge or Cannon Street early in the New Year.

We were also able to direct staff who wished to learn computer skills to the Southern courses at East Croydon, which is also open to staff from Southeastern who cannot attend the sessions at Red Star Learning Centre, Chatham.

We'll be in touch soon when a date for the Signing Day has been reserved!

5th Unionlearn SERTUC Annual Conference, London



On 2nd November, Unionlearn held its 5th Annual Conference at Congress House, London, and this was well attended by Union Learning Reps from a whole range of companies and professions. Southeastern was represented by Kendal May, Susan Pattwell, Ivor Riddell, Mike Sargent, Karl Rogers, George Woods, and John Collins. The facilities were superb, as was lunch, and a big thank you to Graham Ferris from Lewisham College for the workshop session.

It was a great opportunity to network with other reps, discover what new opportunities and changes are taking place, and plan together for an even more successful 2011 for workplace learning!

Card-making sessions for Christmas...

We will be running a card-making day at Ashford Training Rooms on Thursday 4th November. Contact Kendal May to reserve a place, or to request further details. This was very popular last year at Chatham, and is a great way to make your Christmas Cards with 'the personal touch' this year! There will be a charge of £3 to cover the tutor costs and cards, but this is well worth it.

We'll look forward to seeing you!
