They along with your Union President will be attending the National Conference in Liverpool in 2015 to represent the voice of Salford Students Nationally. 

The conference discusses 5 topics related to students’ experiences at colleges and universities: Further Education policy, Higher Education policy, Society and Citizenship policy, Welfare policy, and Union Development policy. It is the chance for students’ unions to shape national policy and hold to account the national officers heading up each of these policy zones and the national president. Elections for these positions also happen at the conference and the delegates from Salford will be full voting members.

NUS have led on many high-profile campaigns, including those on fees and funding, changes to disabled students allowance, welfare and students’ rights, liberations issues affecting groups like LGBT, International students, Black students and many more.  In a general election year, the 2015 National Conference is likely to be a hub of debate and discussion about how student issues will be dealt with by a new government.
