A policy is simply a paper that has been brought through to Student Council and voted upon and it is what sets the direction for so much of what we do as a Students’ Union. It's not legislation or legally binding, but provides us with our positions when lobbying important stakeholders like Ulster University or wider society groups. We have policy on everything from Anti-Semitism and supporting your identity as an individual student to Free Education, right through to even policy on the food available on campus.
Once it is on our books, each policy is assigned to an officer who will then work on the policy until it is deemed complete.
