The Union has a number of standing committees charged with the management and implementation of Union policies and activities. This allows the committees to report back on their activities and also provides the members an opportunity to ensure that their will is being enacted in an appropriate manner by these committees. At each UGM there is the opportunity for members to submit, amend and debate Union policy. Union policy is what guides the direction and activities of the Students' Union, i.e. If a legitimate policy is passed at a UGM in accordance with the Constitution and Schedules, the Union has a moral and legal obligation to ensure that it is fully enacted. Dependent upon the nature of the question it is intended that the Officers of the Union shall be able to provide an answer within a reasonable time scale.
Policy is decided at both a Site and an Overall level.
If you need help on formulating a motion to create policy ask the Union for assistance prior to submitting a motion. For a full list of the Policies under which the Union operates on your campus refer to the Constitution.
