How to: External Speaker Guide

• An ‘external speaker’ is any individual or organisation who is not a student or staff member or associated with of the University or Students’ Union, and is invited to provide a viewpoint, or to speak publically, and requested to do so through the Students’ Union (which also includes a society, club, committee or Officer).

 

• If you (your society or committee) wishes to invite an external speaker as part of its event/activity (either on or off campus) then you are required to submit an External Speaker Form at least 14 days (two weeks) in advance.  

 

• If the speaker is deemed to be high risk or controversial, then we will contact you with support and advice to manage the event. This doesn’t mean we will cancel it – we just want to make sure you and the speaker will be safe and secure – especially if it’s over an evening with limited staff on campus to assist.
