Report - our reps' magazine
Report magazine is one of the key resources for our reps, containing regular updates on issues such as employment law, recruitment and organisation, and health and safety.
We publish nine issues each year and send it to everyone who's recorded as a rep on our membership database, either by post or as an email link.
Not receiving it?
If you're a rep but you don't receive Report, we probably haven't been told about your rep status. You can contact our membership department direct (making sure you include your membership number). Better still, ask your branch secretary to send them a full, up-to-date list of your branch officers and reps.
Prefer to receive the PDF version?
If you'd like to start receiving the email version of Report rather than a printed copy you just need to complete a quick online form.
