Representing students at Hallam

As the highest decision-making body within the Students' Union, it is comprised of Officers and Reps that represent a wide range of student groups, ensuring that we are the truly reflective voice of students at Hallam. There are also six elected open space reps that act as additional representatives of the student body.

Please email democracy@shu.ac.uk if you would like to attend as an observer or require support with working on a policy.
