My plan for my time as Vice President Education is divided into three core areas which I believe will tackle the full range of the most pressing issues that students face today. 

1. Cap Student Numbers

   • Help to mitigate the housing crisis

   • Improve staff conditions and student:staff ratio

   • As a result improve quality and timings of feedback

   • Ensure appropriate classrooms and class sizes

   • Ease pressure on services 

2. Access to Information

   • Clearer timetables which are released in good time to allow for student planning and preparation 

   • Push for improved communication from the University such as for international students

   • Easy-to-access information regarding what mental health, academic and other support services are available 

   • Linking these services to allow for quicker and more appropriate support

   • Communicate what I and the Union are working on during my time in role

3. Sharing good practice

   • Share useful methods of working between classes, departments and faculties to improve student experience across the board 

   • Adopt good practice from other universities and student unions to allow for quicker implementation of improvements  

My delivery of this plan will place student engagement at its centre by giving students direct involvement in developing solutions to the problems they encounter.

• Co-Design

  • Get students involved throughout the entire process: making decisions on critical issues, generating possible solutions, evaluating the best solution and how it should be implemented and determining how we will define success  

  • This approach is followed by the mental health charity Mind: https://www.mind.org.uk/workplace/influence-and-participation-toolkit/how/methods/co-design/
