Democracy
What does it mean to me?
 

The Students’ Union is a democratic organisation. Democracy in the Union means that the decisions made by the SU are based upon the wishes of you and your fellow students. You have the ultimate power to make decisions and you choose other students to be your elected representatives, these officers are elected by cross campus secret ballot twice a year.

However, as a democratic organisation the job of representation and providing services to over 21,000 students is by no means an easy job. To ensure the smooth running of our operations we have various controls and checks in place to ensure things are done properly and legally. Additionally we ensure that the student voice is central to all actions and decisions the Union makes on your behalf.

These systems are:

• Annual General Meeting (AGM)
• Union Review
• Constitution and Bye-laws
• Union Meetings & Minutes
• Elections
• Referenda

If you have any questions about the Union's democratic procedures, please contact:
