What SU Council does

Decides what we stand for

Council sets Union policy: positions that represent the views of Roehampton students.

Tells officers what to work on

Council can direct your Sabbatical Officers to take specific action. We call this a mandate.

Holds officers to account

Every Sabbatical Officer reports to each meeting and answers questions about their work.

Sub-committees

Sub-committees do detailed work for SU Council. Each one reports to every Council meeting, and its minutes are published on its page.
