The student association would like to announce that it will be running a new Student Equalities Forum:

 

• The forum will be a  place for students to come together and discuss all things equality and diversity.
• The forum will have the responsibility for evaluating campaigns, projects and initiatives of the student association to improve representation of liberation groups.
• From the forum, your elected student officers will take your feedback and directly input at the college Equality and Inclusion group.
• This would also be a place where students could create policy for the student association.  

 

Membership:

 

The membership of the forum is open to self-defining students under the following characteristics:

 

• LGBT+
• Mature (25 years and over)
• Black and Minority Ethnic
• Women and Non-binary
• Disabled
• Care Experienced
• Student Carer / Parent
• Estranged Students

Meetings:

 

There will be at least one meeting per academic block which will be chaired by a sabbatical officer in the first instance or an executive officer that has been deputised. If no officers are not available, then a student association staff member will stand in.

 

An agenda will be circulated a week prior to the forum meeting but time will be allotted within each meeting for an open floor for concerns or comments to be raised.
