Our Policies

LMSU has several governance documents which explain how we work. As a registered charity, we are also bound by the law.

The documents that outline the governance of the Union are:

The Memorandum and Articles of the Association - a legal document which lays out the purpose of your Students' Union and how it is to be administered
The Bye-Laws - our own document which set out the internal rules on how to conduct Union activities

LMSU also has a number of policies, which guide us in our decision making and how we act.
Policies are a set of ideas or a plan of what to do in particular situations that have been approved by Trustees or by students in either a referendum or Members Meeting.

Our current policies are listed below:

Safeguarding Policy and Procedure
Code of Conduct - This is the procedure which outlines the behaviours we expect our of members, and how we will deal with it if a member, or members, behaviours fall short of that standard
Data protection policies
Students' Union GDPR and Data Protection Policy and Procedures
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy (link to follow)
Volunteering Policy
Advice Service policies

At LMSU we're led by our members – that means every single one of you can make a change to what we do, how we do it and who represents you. One of the ways you can do this is by proposing a new policy.

Got an idea about something you want to change?
Propose something on our Ideas Forum, suggest a referendum question or submit a motion to either Student Council or a Members Meeting.

If you've got any questions about policy or how to make change of your own then please get in touch with your full-time officer team, you can find their emails here.
