We want to ensure we get as many student leaders as we can to attend Student Council so we’ve cut out all the words and made this short and simple using this timeline!...
- You check the dates for the next Student Council (this will be emailed to you if you're a student leader!)
- You submit an Idea for Change 2 weeks before Student Council with all the correct information
- We'll email you to discuss your Idea for Change and confirm all the details. Once this is done, your idea will be added to the agenda!
- You attend the Student Council meeting and you present your Idea for Change!
- The Chair will then put the Idea for Change to a vote and the room will vote on whether it has passed or not.
- If your Idea for Change passes, it will be assigned to one of the Elected Officers who will speak to the relevant people and ensure that action is taken!
- At the next Student Council, the assigned Elected Officer will provide an update on the progress made on your Idea for Change!
Also - If there are no Ideas for Change submitted, there will be alternative hot topic discussion points that have come up in our insight surveys which will be debated on instead! These will be sent around before the meeting if this is the case!
This is a very smooth example of how Student Council works but if you feel like you need some more support or information, do not hesitate to contact us at reps@hertssu.com! We are here and happy to help!
