This is your chance to:

Hear what your Elected Officers have been working on
Debate ideas that could improve the student experience

We will also have members of senior staff from Uno Bus, who will be there to answer any questions students have about the Uno buses, and to raise any concerns directly with those that can fix any issues.

Attending Student Council is also a great way to develop your leadership, communication, negotiation, and public speaking skills while making a real impact on the student experience at Herts. If you are a Student Rep or a Society Committee Member, attendance at Student Council counts towards your respective accreditation schemes, so don't miss this opportunity to contribute, learn, and gain recognition for your involvement.

Sexual health is an important part of overall health and wellbeing. Many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can present with no symptoms, or symptoms similar to other conditions, which can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. Therefore, it is important to stay informed, and stay protected, by taking control of your sexual health.

We are teaming up with Sexual Health Hertfordshire, part of the NHS in partnership with Hertfordshire County Council, to offer you a sexual health drop-in on campus. Including:

In the Forum Foyer: A pop-up stall providing access to free condoms, STI testing kits, and signposting to local sexual health services.
Outside the Forum (College Lane): A drop-in clinic, within the Better Health Bus, where you can receive support completing STI testing kit forms, guidance with testing for HIV, Syphilis, Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea, sexual health education and advice, contraception discussions, and instant bookings with Hertfordshire Sexual Health Clinics.

If you want to know more information about the Sexual Health Drop-in before the event, please e-mail the Herts SU Advice Team via advice@hertssu.com.
