The resolution for how we do this were not discussed. This Union Believes: By linking the NSS to the TEF, the Government will increase inequality both in terms of students entering HE, and their graduate prospects. That the Government has not listened to students and Students' Unions, who have consistently argued and lobbied against the flawed plans - This is our last stand.That at executive council there was a good understanding of the impact of our participation in the NSS Boycott.This Union Resolves: To run a campaign to encourage third year Liverpool Hope University students to boycott the National Student Survey.That LHSU will both fully and immediately, participate in the NUS NSS Boycott. The campaign will be resourced as a Union-wide campaign, led by the Sabbatical Officers.The Students’ Union shall make use of it’s social media platforms to persuade all third-year students to boycott the NSS. Direct emails will be sent to all Liverpool Hope University third-year students informing them of the campaign and the importance of their participation.Policy Motion 16/17 ESanitary is basic personal hygiene and a human right. products are expensive particularly on a student budget. The subject is unnecessarily seen as taboo.This Union Believes:That sanitary products should be made accessible to all students who are in need of them.This union resolves:To lobby the university so that sanitary products are made available in majority of toilet facilities around the campus including adapted toilet facilities which would make the accessibility of them all inclusive and trans inclusive. (not just available in female gendered bathrooms) ................
