THE STUDENT VOICE

 

At Mid Cheshire College, students are encouraged to become involved and to feed back their views.  This is achieved in a variety of ways:

 

  • Each course has a representative who can feed into the termly Student Union Council meeting.
  • Course representatives all meet up in January for a Student Conference.
  • Student representatives attend College meetings, including Senior Management Team and Health and Safety Committee.
  • Members of the Student Union Executive Committee meet termly with managers of College support units to discuss developments and issues in their areas.
  • Two College Governors are drawn from the student body.
  • Students are involved in a range of College activities such as recruitment of staff, and quality assurance.
  • Two cross-college surveys of students are undertaken each year, as well as focus groups and surveys in particular areas or on particular themes.
  • Students are trained as Peer Drug Educators, Peer mentors or Student Ambassadors.    

 

Volunteering

 

        Students are encouraged to become fully involved with their communities through volunteering.  There are opportunities whilst at college and we also have links with Vinspired, who help find volunteer placements in a student’s home area.  In addition all course reps and Student Union Executive Committee members receive volunteer certificates from V.  We also support students in gaining recognition for any volunteering they do through V awards and the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme.
