Our Policies

Access Keele SU’s full range of policies, from governance and data protection to student conduct, safeguarding, and operational procedures.

The Union is governed and strategically led by its Board of Trustees. The Board is responsible for ensuring the effective day-to-day management of the Union, setting long-term goals, setting operational policies, and managing risks. The Board has ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of the organisation, ensuring that it is well-run and delivering its charitable objectives.

Trustees are appointed according to the rules laid out in the Union's Constitution, with students directly electing the 4 Sabbatical Trustees via the annual elections in February/March every year.
