We're looking to make some changes at your Students' Union, but we want to make sure you're happy with them first.

We're holding a Referendum so you can vote 'Yes' or 'No' on whether you think the proposed changes should go ahead.

The question we're asking:

Should Hallam Students' Union change its democratic processes in line with the recommendations made in the Democracy Review?

Read proposed changes (aka 'the motion')

How it came about:

We've worked with an expert to identify ways we can better represent Hallam students. As part of this review:

  • 1,734 Hallam students were surveyed (and asked how they felt the SU should represent them)
  • 12 hours of focus groups were conducted with students and SU staff

As a result, we've received a set of recommendations to modernise our democratic model and make it easier for Hallam students to help decide the direction of the SU. We want to know whether you're happy for us to implement those recommendations.

Voting closed on 15 March.
