Meetings and Events

 

Committee meetings

​

Committee meetings place once a month to share ideas and discuss union activity, give updates on ongoing projects and campaigns, raise issues in the branch and agree decisions and action points. 

 

Meetings are usually held on a Wednesday evening from 7:30-9:00pm at Bectu HQ, 100 Rochester Row, London SW1P 1JP with Microsoft Teams available. Members can attend as observers to find out more about ongoing work or what happens in meetings. Members can also attend to raise a new issue and discuss it with the Committee, or you can send us the topic and we will discuss it on your behalf.

​

Branch meetings

​

Branch meetings are open to all members to attend and take place every three months. You can attend a branch meeting to hear about Bectu news, join discussions on current issues affecting workplaces and departments and hear about ongoing work from the Committee. We also have a social at the end with food and drinks to allow you to meet fellow members and form new connections and networks.

 

We occasionally focus branch meetings on specific topics such as negotiation skills or the assistant editor's toolkit to help engage members in new projects or provide education and training around different topics.

​

Meetings are usually held on a Wednesday evening from 7:30-9:00pm at Bectu HQ, 100 Rochester Row, London SW1P 1JP with Microsoft Teams available. Please read our newsletters and calendar to find out about upcoming branch meetings.

Projects and Campaigns

​​

Join a Branch Working Group 

 

We have branch groups to organise members around specific projects and campaigns that they are particularly interested in such as the TV Drama Agreement, Mentoring Scheme and the Rate Cards. In the group you can have your say, give feedback or volunteer to support the Committee with parts of the project and become a Branch Ambassador.

​

Submit an issue to the Branch Suggestion Bin

​

The Branch Suggestion Bin is a new way for members to send in suggestions for the Branch. Your idea could be a new way we could support members, an idea for an event, training or projects, or something that you have identified as a problem in your job. Throughout the year members will vote on the ideas to determine the priorities for the branch.
