PCS DWP Conference Monday Late Afternoon

All motions were carried unless otherwise noted. Where the branch voted in a different way to conference this will also be noted.


Following a guest speaker, we got back to the motions.


Emergency Motion EM6 calls for improvements to our organising.


Motion A81 calls for PCS to recruit and support apprentices.


Motion A86 calls for PCS reps to have full access to HR Complex Case Team advice.


Motion A94 calls for check off details to be removed from our pay slips. This motion was from our branch and was moved by Alan Groves.


Motion A95 calls for PCS to be fully involved in the negotiation and implementation of neurodiversity policies.


Motion A103 calls for Attendance Management Policy to better reflect the Equality Act.  This motion was from our branch and was moved by Alan Groves. It was remitted because conference felt that policies had been updated. We agreed to remit to save all of our motion being lost and most of our asks were covered in EM3 which was carried earlier.


Motion A104 calls for better safeguards against discrimination against disabled people during recruitment.


Motion A105 calls for free sanitary protection in DWP premises for staff and public and support the removal of VAT on those products.


Motion A106 calls for a message on public phone line to include a recorded message saying that unacceptable customer behaviour will not be tolerated.


Motion A107 calls for stab vests for security guards.


Motion A108 calls for DWP to update its accident policy.


Motion A109 calls for flu vaccine for all front line staff.


Bash Chilwan, as the recently re-elected DWP Group Treasurer, moved the accounts and that ends the business of day one of conference.
