Union Development & Democracy Officer Blog

Hey! I’m Jade and I’m your Development and Democracy Officer for this year. It’s my job to help develop Keele SU to make sure it’s responding to the needs of students. I also make sure students feel represented, while acting as a voice for Keele students on issues and campaigns they care about in the University, local community and nationally. 

At Keele I have studied a BA in Politics with Sociology and a PG Dip. As a student, I held a part-time officer role and attended many clubs and society events. Outside of University, I love game nights with my friends, going shopping, listening to JLS and laughing at my own jokes. 

Talk to me about:

  • Making Keele SU a more welcoming place for everyone
  • The facilities and services that students need such as transport, parking, laundry and accommodation
  • Cost-of-Living
  • Empowering the student voice through part-time roles, elections and Networks

Amy's Union General Meeting (UGM) report

Hate Crime Reporting

On the 22nd January, I attended a Hate Crime Awareness workshop, delivered by Stop Hate UK, who we have a partnership with. This was a really interesting workshop, and allowed me to understand their work some more. I am in the process of creating more campaign awareness of the different ways you can report and the support you get from different services.

Parking

I am in the process of trying to create content that will increase the awareness of permit holder car parks around campus, including Plot 7 and the Golf course.

Voter Registration

Expanding on my last report for the AGM on the 10th December, the General Election has happened, with Polling day happening on the 12th December. On polling day, we had a stand in the Students’ Union with information on voting, and giving free coffee upgrades for those that had voted. I invited a member of staff from NUS to come and help out, along with some of our own student staff. In addition to this stand, we used the whiteboard to capture why people had been voting.
