Trade Union support, advice and guidance
"The peace of mind of having union representation should I ever need it is a huge benefit to me."
BDA full member
For all BDA full members and associate members, our Trade Union provides bespoke and expert support and advice for any workplace issue they may face. Our Trade Union Advisors support issues including restructuring or redundancy, disciplinary, sickness, grievance, workload or discrimination, and are on hand to support any follow up which may include representation and attendance at legal hearings.
Compared to some of the larger and more expensive Unions who cover a huge number of professions, the BDA Union has years of specialist experience representing the dietetic profession.
Legal Support
All BDA members (and their families) have access to a range of legal services provided by UnionLine, an external provider. Services include a free 24/7 legal advice helpline, employment law guidance, personal injury support, free will writing, fixed-rate conveyancing, family law services, powers of attorney, and more.
At UnionLine, they have teams of specialist medical negligence solicitors and lawyers who deal exclusively with medical negligence matters. They will be able to review individual circumstances and let you know if they think it’s a valid case.
