Motion Maker

Access support in writing your motion to submit to Student Parliament.

Any student at Strathclyde can help shape the policy of Strath Union. Policies can dictate what Strath Union campaigns on, what it spends money on, what priorities the Student Presidents set, and more.

You can submit a proposal by filling in the document below and sending it to strathunion.dem@strath.ac.uk. A member of staff will then get in touch with more information, or arrange a meeting with you. 

If a policy proposal is received less than two weeks before Student Parliament, it can only be included at the discretion of the Democracy Convenor. Otherwise, it will be included at the next meeting of Student Parliament. 

Policy Submission Template

Before you start on your policy, here are a few things to think about:

  1. Does the Union already have policy concerning the topic you want to discuss? You can check through our current policy before you start.
  2. When you are writing a policy proposal, consider what evidence you can use to support your case. This could include links to relevant websites, articles or surveys. 
  3. Have you discussed your policy proposal with any students or staff? You need 5 signatures from students for a policy to be considered at Parliament, but the more people you talk to the better! 
  4. You can also contact the Student Presidents, your Faculty Rep, or the Equality Officers - they can really help with the detail and also bring your policy proposal to other committees. 
  5. Strath Union Staff are here to guide you through the process and support your policy proposal. If you would like to discuss anything about your proposal, you can pop into Level 8 or email the Democracy team.
