As a result of discussion at the ARPS annual meeting in 2022, UCU organised a job evaluation training session in April 2023. This was aimed at members who wanted to better understand the job evaluation process and equip them with the tools to collectively challenge downgrading and grade drift when necessary.
Kevin Ward, ARPS Committee member and Money and Welfare Adviser, part of Students Services at Middlesex University went to the training and reports back on its benefits.
