Positional Policy
These policies can be suggested by our members and agreed by Guild Summit or via a student vote. These policies are statements of belief or intent on key issues, they can be a statement of the Guild's position, or a commitment to doing things in a certain way or campaign on a particular issue. These policies are made democratically and remain in place for three years until they lapse. See Policy Precedent for lapsed policies.
If you have an idea for a new policy you can make a submission to Change It.
