Union Council is the policy and accountability forum of the Union. It is here to be the legitimate voice of the student body; passing policies that state the Unions stance of issues which may be local, national or international.

Your Officer Trustees bring reports to Council to ensure you know how they are representing you. This also provide an opportunity for you to ask them questions about their work.

If elected as a member of Council you are expected to read these reports and we encourage you to speak to friends and course buddies about issues before coming to the meeting – you will be there to represent them!

Any student can attend Council (and they are encouraged to do so), however only an elected member can vote.
