Here are the Student Leaders' Term 2 Big Plan Updates:

PROVIDE THE RIGHT TO FEEL SAFE

• The Council have agreed to do a full audit of areas named unsafe by Students. This audit includes looking at lighting, overgrown shrubbery and overgrown trees too.
• The 'Be Aware. Be There. Show You Care' Campaign will be launched in Term 3, and this will be to encourage people to act as active bystanders in the community to make campus feel safer.
• 'Be There' Certificate will be awarded to those who are actively bettering the community.
• We are still working with SU Networks on finding a financially viable external sponsorship to bring back the Late Night Transport Bus.

CREATE PEER SUPPORT GROUPS

• Successfully recruited and trained 25 volunteers to be facilitators, and the Senior Committees in the University are very intrigued and on board with the idea. We will be using their communication channels to expand SU Groups further and have them on all three campuses; Loughton, Southend, and Colchester.

MAKE EDUCATION ENGAGING

• Launched SU Skills Cafe which have encouraged students to think about their career, but also the key topics in their education right now, eg. Extenuating Circumstances.
• Setting standards of Common Room facilties in departments. 
• Hosted our first Student Rep Summit, this encouraged people to get actively involved in their education.

ENSURE FINANCE IS FAIRER

• The University have agreed to work with the SU on the Flexible Payment Scheme, in regard to tuitional fees and accomodation fees.
• Making International Fees more clear.
• The Accommodation Quality Charter is nearly ready, the document will provide more information regarding accommodation, eg. what offers are available.

TREAT LOUGHTON AS EQUALS

• Gender Neutral Toilets on Loughton Campus.
• We continue to argue with the University to make improvements to the Cafe.
• Working with the Registrar and Vice Chancellor on providing the students at Loughton the best oppurtunities to help kick start heir career.
