Warmer Winter Campaign
The Campaign has absorbed much of my time but is close to its conclusion and was a massive success. 220 individuals were given free energy-saving items and 101 individuals (out of 670 attendees at the housing fair) completed the Green House energy-saving quiz. I was also featured in a WonkHE briefing (a big higher education sector organization news organization) and they would like me to write an article on the campaign, my motivations etc.
Multifaith rooms
I have been pushing for more multi-faith spaces on campus and the increased consideration of multi-faith rooms in prospective buildings. Currently, I have support from the head of student services and the university’s COO and I am drafting a paper in preparation for the arrival of the new head of estates to get a public and sincere commitment.
CCTV
CCTV has been a recent point of contention and is due for renewal - this is something I have been pushing for behind the scenes between estates, campus security and University executives. I have managed to get the process to a point where a project manager has been assigned and there are campus visits to other Universities currently underway.
Closing gaps
Access and Participation: Sam and I have been promoting the student voice across university meetings which are aimed at closing gaps in course success and progression for groups such as care leavers, Black students etc.
Casework: Ethnicity differences in casework (appeals etc) have been alarming and have been something I have raised on a few platforms. One issue was around ECs, so I have got the lady who compiles the stats to draw further attention to this at the EC review committee.
