Policies and guides.

A basic set of union policies and documents are online, as is the latest Union Handbook. You can also view the Union’s Strategic Priorities. These are all beneath the tab ‘Your Union’.

Find the Educational Priorities beneath the ‘Welfare & Education’ tab. You can also find all information about Student Representatives (course reps), and an archive of reports on their work.
Reps, (for short), raise issues in departments, and deal with issues of an academic and ‘student experience’ nature. Contact your rep if you have concerns about teaching and facilities on your course.
.

Complaints.

If you have a complaint, about the Students’ Union or any of it’s services and outlets, you will find a link to our Guide to Making a Complaint within the Policies and Documents page.

Alternatively go straight to the guide through this link.

About the Author

My main responsibility is toward the rep system. Student reps take up issues within their course or faculty. We (in the S.U.) provide training, and organise the network that links reps across the school. This provides important support, and fresh ideas. If you’re interested in being a Student Rep, or want to know more about it, just ask! I can be found in the SU offices, in Russell Sq but only for half of the week - I’m a part-timer. You can always email too.
