Why are we doing this?

As your Students’ Union, we can always do more to make sure you’re represented effectively, and student priorities are always reflected in the work we do. To that effect, we decided to launch a Democracy Review to analyse the challenges with our current processes, gather your opinions and feedback, and implement new processes to better support you. 

This includes reviewing all aspects of our system (e.g. elected officer roles, policy submission mechanisms, SU council) - nothing is off the table, and everything we do is informed by your feedback.

How are we doing this?

We'll be splitting the review up into different stages, which will involved various opportunities you can get involved in such as surveys and focus groups.

What have we done so far?

In October, we launched the RSU Democracy Survey and hosted various focus groups to get your feedback on our current democratic system. 

We are now looking at everyone's feedback and drawing up ways the SU can effectively represent you. As we go along, we will add our updates to this page so you know exactly what we are doing.
