Student Union Governance & Democracy Review

Student Union governance and democracy is under pressure. An effectiveness review can provide vital advice as to how to develop governance and democracy within your Student Union.
The Halpin team can explore the effectiveness of your governance and student democracy and provide you with a roadmap for strengthening your practices and ensuring you are compliant with the SU Governance Code. We use the Halpin Governance Maturity Framework to help guide our work.
The Halpin team have worked as student sabbatical officers, executive leaders and are governors, trustees and non-executive directors. We understand the challenges you are facing and our goal is to support you to move beyond compliance and towards leading edge practice.
