Support for Staff

 

Our representation system is made up of hundreds of student volunteers, who choose to represent other students within their programme of study. In return volunteers are provided with the training and support needed to perform their roles. All volunteers are awarded for their time and commitment to the role through our Kickstart scheme. The policy states University Faculty staff have responsibility for:
  • Recruitment and elections of programme level Representatives
  • Forwarding the contact details for Representatives to the Students’ Union Student Voice Team
  • Holding Student Staff Liaison Committees (Min 1 per semester)
  • Ensuring that policy is adhered to at a Programme/Faculty level
The Student Representation system is underpinned by a comprehensive policy, which is reviewed annually by both the University and the Students’ Union. To view the policy follow this link: https://www.bradfordunisu.co.uk/resources/student-representation-policy-2022/download_attachment
