Any student can propose a motion or submit an idea to change or improve something at Warwick SU, the University and beyond.
The quickest and simplest way to make a change is to submit your idea via our Ideas Platform. This will be passed through to our Student Voice team who will then be in contact to identify the best possible route for your idea to become a reality.
From here you might find that the change you want to see is something the SU can move swiftly on, and we will of course credit you with supporting us to facilitate that change. If you are in need of additional support, our colleagues in Student Voice will be happy to help.
Submitting a motion requires a little more detail, and we expect proposers to already be in contact with SU colleagues, fellow students and the relevant forums to know that the change they are asking for is supported by data or student opinions.
Once a motion is received, it gets sent to the Steering Group, who review the motion, propose improvements and steer the motion to other relevant SU Forums to review and propose amendments.
The motion will then go to Student Council, who discuss the motion and vote on whether to pass it or not, or whether to send it to an All Student Vote for all students to vote on.
If the motion passes at Student Council or an All Student Vote it becomes active SU policy for 3 years, and representatives from the SU must try to enact those changes.
