I’m lucky that I have tremendous support from my line manager and my Branch colleagues, including all other reps, and our Libraries and Information Officer, all of whom make the role that little bit easier!” – Janette Astles (Lothian & Borders Learning Rep and UK Learning Rep Committee Rep for Scotland)
