Welcome to the FBU Region 1 homepage

The FBU in Scotland has appointed myself, Paul Wilson, as Regional Education and Learning Official (RELO). It is my job to coordinate Union Education and Learning.

The Scottish TUC Union Learning team have introduced a Development Fund and a Learning Fund with funding from the Scottish Government and the European Social Fund (ESF).

The FBU has been awarded a Develoment fund until 31st March 2011. The development project is coordinator by Jock Munro and has been centred around membership wishes to provide Dyslexia Awareness courses and Deaf Awareness Course which will follow on to courses in Sign Language through SQA and BSL.

The FBU ULF committee launched through the FBU Executive Council the “Dyslexia Guidance” Document, which will be of assisstance to members and officials. Copy of document available on FBU ULF Home page.
