What's it about?
Many students may not feel like they have the opportunity to speak
about issues that are quite damning and can cause stress by
identifying them.
What's happened?
RUSU can take the following actions:
-
Reiterate at committee training and on the RUSU website that any
student can give feedback or share concerns about RUSU Activities
Student Groups to the student activities inbox. These can be dealt
with in a confidential manner- relevant staff members will know who
submitted the feedback, but the student’s name will not be shared
with any other student.
-
Include a confidential feedback box where students can give feedback
on RUSU Activities Student Groups. This could be placed on the
website so students could give feedback.
-
Share the names of RUSU Activity Student Groups who have been
disaffiliated with brief reason for disaffiliation, e.g. behavioural
issues or not for reaching minimum membership requirement. This
would take place at Activity Group Meetings. Activity Group minutes
are published on the website for students to access this
information.
Important notes:
RUSU cannot usually share information relating to disciplinary
procedures.
RUSU cannot provide an anonymous reporting process (where staff do not
know who submitted report) because if there are welfare concerns, RUSU
would not be able to get in touch with the student, and if it was a
complaint, RUSU would not be able to deal with the complaint.
What's next?
Daisy will work with Student Activities and the Marketing Department
to implement these actions.
