2012 events

31 October 2012

An event forming part of the UCU Women: Moving Further Reaching Higher project in the North West.

The 2012 UCU Anti-Stress and Bullying Week, part of UCU's new Workload Campaign, takes place during the week beginning 19 November 2012. For UCU's National 'Anti-stress and Bullying Week' in 2011 we launched a range of new materials available to download or order. The aim of the week is to raise awareness of stress and bullying as issues in colleges and universities, and for UCU branches to look at developing long-term strategies for addressing the problem.
