Governance of the Students' Union
These are the high-level documents that are required by law or considered good practice.
Standing Union Policies
These policies usually originate from the support staff of the Union as they are required by law or establish how the Union delivers high-quality, safe and professional services.
Democratic Union Policies
These policies originate from elected officers via Union Council in the form of motions, or by any student at the Annual Members' Meeting. You can access the live policy register here.

AGM / AMM Minutes
The Students' Union holds an Annual General Meeting (AGM) to formally approve accounts, detailed financial statements and the independent audit findings. The AGM for the Company Directors - Trustees and the Managing Director.
The Students' Union also holds an Annual Members' Meeting (AMM), which considers the above information but does not have to approve them formally. Instead, more time is devoted to students holding full-time and part-time elected officers to account.
Financial Statements
The Students' Union, as a charity and company, is independently audited and produces financial statements and an annual trustees' report. These are approved by both the Students' Union and the University.
