The Importance of Staff-Student Partnership
Staff and student reps working effectively together enhances the student experience, supports more responsive service provision, and creates greater shared understanding of the challenges faced by staff and by students.
Active and engaged student reps are necessary for the effective functioning of Student Voice and Student Voice Committees within each School. Working together, we can make the academic, and overall, student experience the best that it can be.
Staff can help by promoting Course Rep, School Rep and Faculty Rep opportunities to students and encouraging students to volunteer for these roles! We have found that Schools which actively promote these academic rep roles to students have increased engagement with, and take-up of, the roles.
