BAOT and UNISON
Members of the British Association of Occupational Therapists who work in Health, Local Government and Higher Education organisations are also joint members of UNISON. This means that in addition to the full range of member and professional services offered by BAOT, members also enjoy all the benefits of belonging to UNISON. UNISON provides OT-specific industrial relations support and, most importantly, we continue to build and organise a strong nationwide network of accredited occupational therapy stewards and health and safety representatives appointed to provide trade union support to all OT staff within their workplace.BAOT Stewards are integral to the BAOT UNISON partnership. They are BAOT members who are elected by their work colleagues to represent them in negotiations and consultation with their employer and to provide industrial relations advice and information. BAOT Stewards are accredited by their UNISON branch and are part of the branch committee. The stewards' training is provided by UNISON.

Update your details on the OT stewards network
We are constantly updating the national OT Stewards' network. If you are a new or existing OT steward please help us by completing this questionnaire and ensuring your details are up-to-date. Your feedback will also be used to help develop stewards' structures and closer working with BAOT at local and regional levels.Where do I find OT briefings and guidance?
UNISON has drafted a range of guidance briefings for use by trained BAOT/UNISON Stewards. They are all available from the UNISON section of the BAOT website. Go to www.baot.org.uk. Then click on ‘Member Resources’ then on 'UNISON services and resources'. You will need your BAOT membership number to log-in to the website.< Back | More >
