Sabb update
The Bucks Student By Honor Fletcher (she/her), Tash Neal (she/her), Tom Featherstone (he/him)
Hello everyone!
If you have just begun your second semester we hope you are settling in nicely and if you have recently joined the University as part of one of the January or February intakes, we wish you a very warm welcome! It has been an exciting start to the semester for the sabbatical team already ranging from being involved with the February cohort inductions at both High Wycombe and Uxbridge campuses as well as being part of the unveiling of the Union’s newly revamped #BucksMoreThanABar campaign! If you haven’t heard of the campaign before, we run a yearly campaign to ask students for their opinions on all of the different services that we offer as a union that make up offer as part of The Big Deal. The Big Deal was created to enable our members to access
a wide variety of free diverse and exciting activities (such as sports, societies, training and development opportunities) to enrich your University experience whilst you are studying at BNU. We are the only Union in the whole of the United Kingdom who offers this package. As part of our highly anticipated #BucksMoreThanABar campaign, we have provided a number of comment cards outside the front desk of the Student Union’s offices as well as providing a wheel of prizes where you can win a number of exciting prizes from a
high five with a Sabb to a shopping voucher. All you have to do to get involved is fill out a comment card explaining why you think Bucks Students’ Union is more than a bar. For every entry we receive we will also be adding 10p into the pot and somebody will be chosen at random to win the total prize fund out of all the comment card entries. At the time of writing the total fund is £43.90 but I am sure it will be a lot more by the time the newspaper is published!

Sabb update
February edition 103
Wellbeing Fair Join us in The Venue for our first ever Wellbeing fair! Find more details at bucksstudentsunion.org/whatson We thoroughly enjoyed speaking to so many of you after your exams as part of our Doughnut Worry Exam Stress Campaign. We stood outside the Exam Hall after every exam that took place between the 25 – 28 of January off the back of some feedback we had received over students concerns and worry about exams. We produced a list of top tips for supporting you during your exams as well as providing free tea, coffee, doughnuts and other snacks to students to provide an opportunity to de-stress and talk through any after exam jitters that you may have had. We then went on to round up the week with free pizza in our Students’ Union Lounge to encourage people to come together and celebrate the exam week being over. In addition to this, we worked with the University to make sure that it was made clear to students what plans were in place to support students with face to face delivery of exams as well as making sure they clarified the plans they had in place in light of Covid19 to make the exams as safe as possible for you.
In terms of what is coming up over the next few weeks, it is quite the packed month. We have RAG week, Volunteer Week Give it a Go 2.0 as well as Fairtrade Fortnight, all of which you can get involved with through the events on our What’s On page. We also have our second Wellbeing Week of the year taking place from the 14th -18th of February including a number of initiatives you can get involved with to support the campaigns theme ‘You Are Enough.’ Make sure you get involved. We have organised a number of sessions off the back of the feedback you provided at Union Council in December and have a number of activities taking place from Executive Network sessions with our Executive officers (more information on page 14), Positive Planting and so much more which you can read about on page 22 as well as seeing our full schedule on our Whats On page. All details of the events taking place are on our What’s On page on the website.
We are also very excited to be hosting our first ever Wellbeing Fair as a Union taking place from noon– 3pm on Thursday 17 February in the Unions Venue. You can find out more details on who is invited and what you can expect on our What’s On Page as well as on page 22 of this newspaper. It has been great to see the launch of the LGBTQ+ History Month Campaign this month and we encourage as many students to get involved with their own student led campaigns as well this year which we can back as a Union. If you are interested in running a student led campaign you can find out more information here. Speak soon!

Editor’s update
The Bucks Student By Jessy Clark (she/her)
Editor’s update Hi all! Jessy here! You may or may not have noticed that I didn’t leave an update in the previous edition of the Bucks Student, but hopefully, I’ll be able to right until the end of the semester! I really wanted to keep up my streak and to support the paper throughout my time as the editor, but unfortunately, I had let my assignments build up on top of me and had to take the time out of my part-time job and my editorial duties in order to work on them. For this update, I wanted to remind our readers how vital it is to take care of your well-being, especially when deadlines are hitting hard and fast. On page 19, the sabbatical team discuss how easy it is for us to put our mental and physical health aside when focusing on projects, studying or assignments.
Jessy Clark - Student editor
They said: “In life, there is one person you can guarantee will be around the whole time and that is yourself. “Making sure you are your number one priority is always important.” Especially in today’s fast-paced world, it is easy to push yourself to the limit and ignore the signs and symptoms of stress in the hope of getting things done, which leads to a decline in your overall mental health and wellbeing. Taking breaks regularly is important to your well-being. It’s ok to say, “I’m sorry, but I just need a night in to relax after a long week.” It’s ok to say, “I have errands to run, and chores to do at home.” If you don’t have the energy to go out like you planned to, and you need time to do things that aren’t university work. It’s ok to take time out.
If you would like to get involved with the Newspaper and writer’s newsgroup, you can always drop an email to us at editor@thebucksstudent.com or j_essyclark@hotmail.com.
And always remember, it’s ok to say “No”. And don’t forget to take full advantage of the support the university has to offer for mental health, wellbeing and guidance.

Been There app release
February edition 103 By BNU
We are very excited to introduce a brand-new service, Been There! 50 BNU students will have exclusive use of the Been There app, available to download on the App/Play Store from Monday 14 Feb. What is Been There?
What is a Been There Mentor?
Been There is a charity in the form of an app that connects 18–24-year-olds with a vetted and trained Mentor to help with any body image issues they may be experiencing. This gives young adults the opportunity to speak to someone who has ‘Been There’ themselves, in a safe and secure space, where they can be anonymous. Been There Mentors are here to support, empower and, most importantly, listen.
A Been There Mentor is there to support, listen, and give assistance, to empower the Mentee to make their own decisions. Mentors create supportive relationships and speak from their own experience to help and encourage the Mentee to face and navigate their own challenges.
Who needs Been There? Been There is for anyone who is struggling with how they perceive and feel about their body. This encompasses a range of issues from lacking in confidence to eating disorders and self-harm. If the way you view your body is impacting your health, relationships, and life in any way, Been There is here for you. Why was Been There created? Been There was founded in 2020 by Tessa Peters in response to her personal journey and recovery from an eating disorder, which haunted her for 11 years. She passionately wanted to make something positive from the challenges she faced. When Tessa was at the pinnacle of her battle, she desperately sought help from counsellors and therapists, but each had one thing lacking: relatability. Through extensive research and a burning desire to get better, she found a Mentor, which she regards as being her saviour.
Why only 50 students? Been There is giving 50 students the opportunity to trial the service with their 10 Founding Mentors, who have all been vetted and trained. During use of the app, there will be pop-up questionnaires for the Mentees to complete on how it is going. Been There will gather this feedback to make any necessary changes or improvements to the service. How does it work? It couldn’t be easier to start using Been There and find your Mentor. Download the app on the App/ Play Store, complete your profile, with the option of remaining anonymous. Find a Mentor and initiate conversation via the chat button. How much does it cost to use? Been There is a charity, which relies heavily on donations and fundraising in order to train new Mentors, fund the service and operational costs, therefore it is free for all users. Tessa felt it was important to set it up as a charity so that young adults can access help for free. If you want to be involved in the Been There journey, they’d love to hear from you please do get in touch with info@beenthereapp.com

What is Union Council?
The Bucks Student By Tash Neal (she/her)
Union Council So many of you may be wondering what Union Council is! As a Sabbatical Team we use the term Union Council a lot and we wanted to remind you what it is, it’s purpose and how you can get involved.
Union Council is the highest form of representation at the Students’ Union and is our senior representative body. The Council meets on a monthly basis during term time and was formed to represent the voice of the students. The Council is a platform that informs students about the changes to policies within the Union, and the opportunity to vote on Universitywide issues and directs our lobbying approach. The Council is led by a student Chair, elected by the members of Union Council on an annual basis. Amy Pile holds this position for the 2021-2022 academic year and the 2022-2023 student Chair will be elected in the first Union Council of the academic year which falls in October. However, all students are welcome to speak at the Council to raise any relevant issues. Our three Sabbatical Officers also give a monthly update on what they’ve been doing and their plans for the upcoming month so students can scrutinise them and hold them to account. Additionally, our eight Executive Officers also provide reports on their work and raise any issues brought forward from the student groups they are responsible for. In addition to this we also hear reports from our Student Trustees about their highlights from the Unions committees they sit on to let the membership know what we are doing at a Strategic level within the Union.
Union Council is open to all of our members to attend and participate in the meetings, but we particularly welcome students of colour and Mature students to share their views as these groups are currently under-represented at this forum. Free refreshments are provided at every meeting including Domino’s pizza. So not only can you have a major input on the student experience at Buckinghamshire New University, but you can also grab yourself some free pizza in the process - what’s not to love?! We have been hosting this in a hybrid format since the beginning of this Academic year and we invite you to attend our next meeting taking place at 5pm in N4.06 at the High Wycombe Campus on the 17th of February. If you cannot attend face to face you are more than welcome to join online and we will select at random one online attendee to win a free pizza for the next meeting. You can sign up for the link for online attendance here. For more information about Union Council and how you can get involved, please speak to any member of the Sabbatical team or email surepresentation@bucks. ac.uk.

We will have opportunities in the afternoon to attend different training sessions run by professional trainers but also from some of the employers attending the event, who can give you an insight into key skills required to find your dream job once you have graduated. Attending STRIVE will enhance your employability and networking skills and it would be great to see as many of you taking part as possible. If you have any questions, or would like any further information, please email sutraining@bucks.ac.uk.

Why the University revoked the No Detriment Policy
The Bucks Student By Tash Neal (she/her)
NO As a Students’ Union we have heard from a number of students this year with queries as to why the No Detriment Policy was removed by the University when students felt that the policy should have remained intact for this Academic Year. At our Students’ Union Annual Representation Conference in November, a student submitted feedback saying ‘’the stark change between a 10 day extension and a 40% cap if you’re just a minute late isn’t fair and many students are still suffering the effects of the pandemic. It doesn’t seem fair to be honest’’ in response to the University taking the decision to end the No Detriment Policy.
detriment policy Over summer as a Union we campaigned to the University to try and keep the No Detriment Policy in place for this year for many reasons including the fact that Covid was still here and could change teaching methods at short notice if for example we had another lockdown, the long term effects to students mental health and wellbeing due to the pandemic and the overall uncertainty at the time around University provisions and the lack of guidance from the Government around student support. Unfortunately, the University felt that the No Detriment Policy was no longer needed as we were not in emergency times which is what the policy was for and decided to end the No Detriment Policy alongside many other institutions across the United Kingdom. We were disappointed with this decision and have been working with the University this year to emphasise the need for more clarity on the current support options in place for students who may be struggling to complete assignments on time for various reasons including the effects of Covid-19 on work-life balance, mental health and physical health.
In light of the feedback reported at our Annual Representation Conference, we have contacted the University about this and asked that they provide a detailed summary as to why the No Detriment Policy was revoked and to outline the numerous support options available to students when it comes to assessments at the University. Paul Morgan, Associate Pro ViceChancellor for Student Experience of the University provided the following response: ‘‘The No Detriment Policy is not currently in place because there is an expectation from the Government that the usual range of mitigations should now be in place, as they are at Buckinghamshire New University. There is an expectation from the Government that normal resumption of academic programmes should be happening now, and that programmes should be delivered as validated and published. However, it’s important to recognise a number of support arrangements in place for students (see below) and we constantly monitor the position and listen to student experiences.

Why the University revoked the No Detriment Policy
February edition 103
For those courses where your Level 5 grades are calculated into your final classification, the examination board will also check to make sure that these have not detrimentally impacted on your result, and that you receive the best outcome. To increase our support to students at this time, we have introduced a temporary exception to our Mitigating Circumstances process through to the end of Semester 1 (with a review then to be undertaken) to enable students to submit a claim without evidence (please see the links below with the updated guidance). Under Mitigating Circumstances we will use the “additional and unforeseen demands on an employee” clause to support students who find themselves in this situation over the next few months and who need to claim mitigation if their assessments are affected. We will consider any exceptional instances individually, fairly and sensitively as these may arise, under our regulations. Key areas of the University website that detail support resources are outlined below but we always encourage you to speak to key contacts (Registry, Course Leader, Personal Tutor) so that all individual cases can be explored.

If you have any queries about what exceptional circumstances you can apply for during your studies please check out our article in edition 102 of the Bucks Student Newspaper which breaks them down for you: bucksstudentsunion.org/media/ newspaperarchive Please note that as a Union we are currently awaiting to hear the outcome of the temporary extension to the Mitigating Circumstances evidence process which is currently being reviewed as Semester One has now finished. For more information as to what the ‘additional and unforeseen demands on an employee’ clause within Mitigating Circumstances is please contact registry@bucks. ac.uk who will be able to provide more information. If there are any queries you have about the above or anything you would like us to raise around the current support options available to students at BNU please feel free to contact: surepresentation@ bucks.ac.uk

Campaign update
The Bucks Student By Tash Neal (she/her)
The Student loan repayment national campaign... Some of you may remember back in October I was encouraging students on social media to sign the National Union of Students Petition to stop changes to the student loan repayment system. Rishi Sunak had announced that the Government could change the way that students pay back student loans. His proposal meant that students would have to start paying back their student loans earlier before students could afford to do so meaning that more of your wages would be taken away once you get a job after University. Coupled alongside National Insurance hikes, students and recent graduates on an average salary would have been made to pay back £800 more a year which equates to nearly £66 out of your wages a month at a minimum. This proposal was also due to be backdated to anybody who had taken out a student loan since 2012. This campaign received quite a lot of traction from current and past BNU students and I was pleased to see 47 individuals re-sharing on Facebook alone with their own personal networks to encourage their families and friends to sign the petition against these proposed changes.
...what happened?
I am pleased to announce that Michelle Donelon the Universities’ Minister announced at the end of January that the student loan repayment threshold won’t change for the next year. I wanted to personally thank all of you who signed the petition and reassure you that we will be working with the National Union of Students on any future campaigns to stop changes being made to the student loan repayment system. The benefits to another year without the threshold being changed will make a real financial difference to students who are already paying back their student loans and there is more work that will be done to try and fight any further changes.
WE WON!

Mental Health framework update
February edition 103 By Tash Neal (she/her)
Mental Health As we have had a number of new students joining recently we wanted to remind all of you about the Students’ Union Mental Health Framework to explain what it is, why we have it and any recent work we have been acting upon to develop our Framework. So where did it all start? We recognise as a Union that the wellbeing of our members (that’s you if you’re a current Bucks student!) and staff is paramount to our success in delivering our unique, award winning offer. Both this year and last year more than ever, positive mental health and wellbeing is at the top of our agenda and we have therefore invested in the Students Minds Mental Health Framework both last year as well as reinvesting again this year. As your Vice President Education and Welfare for the Union I am keen to implement any strategy possible to help support students mental health and wellbeing in particular due to the negative effects that Covid-19 has had on students wellbeing. The reason we signed up to the framework is because it is a fantastic opportunity for us to carry out a ‘self-check’ on what we do as a Students’ Union already to support mental health and wellbeing as well as areas to focus on going forwards. We know that the majority of our activity is really proactive and supports our members and staff to a high standard. By using the framework we are able to identify any gaps in our offer to ensure that we are doing our absolute best for our staff and students to promote and encourage positive mental health and wellbeing. The Framework provides a set of 10 principles for good practice in achieving a whole-Union approach to mental health. For each principle there is a model of what best practice looks like. As a starting point, we formed a working group including staff and students from all areas of our work who worked through the framework to develop an action plan. As part of this process we held focus groups to ask you, our valued members to have your say in forming our short, medium and long term objectives for our approach to positive mental health and wellbeing. All of this work formed our plan named
‘A Commitment to the Mental Health Framework’ which we launched during Mental Health Awareness Week in May last year which you can read about on our website. In terms of progress as a Union, already we have implemented new policies and procedures such as Wellness Action Plans for all of our Union staff as well as reviewing our current activities. Off the back of some work between the Unions and Universitys Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committees, over summer we will be implementing template Equality Impact Assessments where we will be reviewing all aspects of our offer including policies are considerate of any protected characteristic including hidden disabilities. We have also scheduled in clear timelines to ensure the framework is embedded as part of our strategy as a Union going forwards as well as embedding it into our day to day operations. We had a meeting on the week of the 31st of January where the entire Union staff came together to discuss the future Strategic Plan for the Union which will run from 2022-2025. Wellbeing and Mental Health was a hot topic of discussion which we are keen to highlight in the Unions strategy going forwards which will support our Mental Health Framework work nicely. As well as this we have recently reviewed our Safeguarding Policy for our staff which now has a greater emphasis on dealing with mental health issues. Finally, we have been reviewing the categories of recording data through our Advice Centre which will enable us to provide a more accurate picture of specific issues being reported to enable us to support our membership more. The Mental Health Framework is an ever-growing and adapting piece of work which we are working on behind the scenes. If you would like to be involved or have any feedback on the framework please do contact me via natasha.neal@bucks.ac.uk and I would be keen to your thoughts. Just a reminder your mental health is just as important as your physical health which is something that can easily be forgotten!

Dealing with stress
February edition 103 By Honor Fletcher (she/her), Tash Neal (she/her), Tom Featherstone (he/him)
Stress How do the sabbs deal with it? Off the back of some feedback from Union Council around what the Sabbs do to support themselves when they are stressed, we have put together a podcast that will be released this week which you can find the details of on our What’s On page as well as this article outlining what we do to deal with stress as well as some generic top tips to support you. Please note that the suggestions we’ve made may work for some and not for others – always do what is best for you and your wellbeing! Tash Neal ‘’I typically deal with stress by going to the gym for a workout class with one of my friends or I like going out with friends to have a chat about something other than work which normally helps me to reset. I also do some care work with the elderly and find that when I spend time with them I forget about my day to day worries and it helps to put things into perspective that as long as I am happy and healthy overall everything else will fall into place.’’ Honor Fletcher ‘’When I have loads going on and I am struggling to find time to do everything this can stress be out. My to do list is a must... being able to see exactly what I need to do and when is a massive help.’’ Tom Featherstone ‘’My way of dealing with stress is definitely going to play some sport, with the freedom to still play sport for Bucks, I can go and train on a Monday and Friday as well as playing on Wednesdays. This works as a perfect way for me to escape from any stresses going on.’’
Top Tips: • One small thing can make a difference. If you wake up in the morning and feel like you have a hundred things to do it can help to try and make a small effort which may make you feel better overall. For example if you have a lot of washing up to do and it seems to overwhelming, try and have a go at washing one or two plates. You’ve made a start and the overall task is then slightly smaller. • Having strong family ties and supportive friends can help you deal with the stresses of life. Reaching out to a friend and having a virtual chat or phone call can really do wonders for your wellbeing. As a Union we also host regular tea and chats where you can come and talk about how you are getting on with Uni. The details for the upcoming sessions are on our What’s On page. • Trying out something new has a number of positive benefits including reducing stress, boosting wellbeing and forming connections with others. • We all have emotional triggers. It can be challenging to identify what exactly those triggers are, but the process of getting to know and understand them can help us heal and learn how to cope better in response. To finish something important to remember is that in life there is one person you can guarantee will be around the whole time and that is yourself. Making sure you are your number one priority is always important. Life can be very fast paced and it can be easy to keep pushing on when you are struggling and ignoring signs and symptoms of stress in the hopes of getting things done which leads to a decline in your overall mental health and wellbeing. Making sure you take regular breaks is important to look after your wellbeing. If you’ve had a tough week and have plans all weekend it’s ok to turn around and say look I’m really sorry but I just need a night in to chill out and even get the washing done.

RepCon Feedback
By Tash Neal (she/her)
Feedback At our annual Representation Conference ‘RepCon’ in November 2021, we held our first ever hybrid conference. The programmes focus was ‘getting back on track’ in light of the effects of Covid-19, focusing on employability, personal development, and how we can best support our members in looking after their physical and mental health. It was wonderful to see such positive feedback from our student representatives concerning how much they enjoyed the conference, including comments such as: ‘’seeing the Students’ Union in action advocating for students was wonderful! I was really proud to see the passion for education from the panel session. To know that we have Senior Representatives that are genuinely thoughtful and engaged in student wellbeing is incredible and it’s also great to be able to feedback to our classes. The overwhelming support from the Students Union and the University to make sure that students voices are heard and responded to was great.’’ As part of the Conference, we ran a Q&A panel, hosted by our Student Experience Manager Lucy Ryan. The panel consisted of two Pro-Vice Chancellors of the University, Rachel Cragg and Paul Morgan, the Director of Education for Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Catherine Forward, and the Unions Vice President Education and Welfare Tash Neal. The theme for this year’s panel was ‘As we emerge from the pandemic, what do students need to do, during the rest of their University experience, to secure the best position in a fiercely competitive jobs market - and what can the University do to help?’ Despite the well-publicised rise in vacancies across a large number of sectors, competition for highly skilled and graduate employment remains fierce. New graduates will be competing for jobs against more experienced workers who faced redundancy during the pandemic
and experienced professionals with transferable skills who are seeking a career change. The likelihood that the pandemic will have a disproportionate effect on younger workers has been well documented. The panellists outlined their thoughts on what students, many of whom have missed a significant amount of on-campus provision and co-curricular opportunities, can do in order to maximise their chances of securing the job they want; in the industry they want. This was followed by students submitting feedback about what they feel are the best parts of their student experience and the areas which are affecting it negatively right now. Positive comments included: • Being part of societies and sports clubs, as this allows me to interact with different people. • Being able to be on campus and have open communication with tutors and staff being able to just drop into tutors’ offices or the SU to ask for help. • Academic studies and being student representatives. • Supportive lecturers and the activities available via the Big Deal. As agreed at the conference, we have asked the University to feedback on all comments in relation to the areas of improvement that reps perceive are required to improve your student experience based on their submissions in the interactive panel session and we have received the following feedback:

RepCon Feedback
February edition 103
Students expressed concerns around timetabling and continual issues around organisation and management, late timetable changes, cancellation of lectures and errors frequently being on the timetables. We raised this with the University who explained that they recognise that there have been some ongoing challenges with timetabling and that any issues with the MyBNU app should now be resolved. They suggested that if students continue to face issues with their timetables, you should raise this with your course teams and course leaders who should be able to address these with IT. Courses within the Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health School now should also be receiving frequent Blackboard announcements from Module leaders who will confirm teaching mode of sessions due to elements of teaching remaining online. As a Union we raised this at the University’s Education Committee Board in January to highlight that it is an ongoing issue that students are facing with timetabling and the University has asked the Pro Vice-Chancellor for Student Experience to look at this and report back to the next Education Committee meeting in March which I will update on afterwards. Students also expressed concerns around mental health and anxiety about returning to campus. The University explained that personal tutors are in place to offer reassurance and will be able to explain to students the Covid precautions that are in place to support students as well as helping to plan out suitable ways of making the classroom comfortable for all. As a Union we have been running a number of initiatives this year to try and support students with their mental health around the return to campus, including training courses and development sessions both available face to face and online around mental health support and selfcare and making sure we continue a Hybrid delivery of some of our services to enable all to participate for example Union Council. We have also organised a number of wellbeing weeks and mental health related sessions across the campuses such as tea and chat sessions in an open environment to encourage people to speak out if they are struggling with their mental health. In addition to this, we have successfully campaigned to the University to extend the counselling service to reduce wait times (which has happened), as well as working with the University to promote extenuating circumstances entitlement and the mental health support available to all students at BNU.
We are really keen to hear what students feel would help support them with concerns over their mental health and any anxiety you are facing so if you have any suggestions on what the Union could do to support you with this please contact natasha.neal@bucks.ac.uk Students also expressed concerns around belonging and cohort identity due to the method of attendance for their course as well as those courses who went online for some time due to Covid as well as the relevance of generalised Foundation Year. The University explained that they would expect the Course Leader to be in touch with students to make sure that cohorts are able to build connections and make friends. They also suggested that students should report any feedback to the course lead about concerns over the relevance of the Foundation year so that it can be enacted on. From a Union perspective we are able to hold mixers with free drinks and snacks for students. If you would like the Union to arrange a mixer for your cohort to get to know each other better you can either contact sutraining@bucks.ac.uk directly or ask your course lead to so we can organise something. If you are only on campus for attendance weeks, we can arrange something for that week and if it is a completely distance learning course please do get in touch and we can try and organise an online activity for your cohort to get to know each other. If there is anything you would like further clarification on please contact paul.morgan@bucks.ac.uk who is the Pro ViceChancellor for Student Experience and would be more than happy to support you with any of the concerns you may have over your Student Experience. Alternatively you can also contact the Unions Representation team at surepresentation@bucks.ac.uk and we would be happy to help. If you would like to nominate yourself for a Student Representative role or any other Student Leadership role within the Union nominations for our annual election will be opening on Monday 21 February so you can put yourself forward for any of our rewarding leadership roles going forwards.

Rep Team Wins
The Bucks Student By Megan Bullock
Rep Team Wins Since the start of this academic year the Representation Team have a great number of wins when it comes to representing student voices. Read about 5 of our biggest wins so far this year.
1. Supporting with Financial Reimbursement for students. As a representation team we supported students on the MA International Aviation Regulation and Law with the process of receiving a financial reimbursement for incorrect fees. The fees were £9200 when they applied but when they started were charged £9950. We raised this with the course team, admissions and registry and students who applied when the fees were £9200 are in the process of being refunded. 2. Alternate Wednesday afternoon organisation Some Business Management students got in touch with the Representation team as they had a module from 10am–1pm on a Wednesday meaning that they could not take part in sport aligning with the University’s and Students’ Union agreement to not have teaching after noon on a Wednesday to allow for students to take part in sport and recreational activities provided by the Students’ Union due to the benefits it has on their mental health and wellbeing as well as their development. We worked with the Business and Law team who have enabled extra sessions for students who have teaching on a Wednesday afternoon to allow them to partake in co-curricular activity on a Wednesday afternoon whilst dually enabling students who commute in from a long distance and have caring commitments not being affected by an earlier start. The team are also providing personal exclusive seminars to students who may miss out on teaching due to partaking in sport on a Wednesday afternoon. It was great to work collaboratively with the University on this issue.
3. Open communication channel with Nursing staff We have now put in place weekly meetings between the nursing staff and Natasha the VPEW of the Students Unions and Lucy Ryan the Student Experience Manger at the Students Union and fortnightly meetings with School Officers. The first Student Council took place on the 3rd of February for all Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health staff. These are now being planned regularly alongside feedback received during Programme Committee Meetings. The Union team also now have access to the Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Student Experience Action Plan to support the students with key issues facing the students within the school. 4. Nursing Uniform Removal at Uxbridge We have worked with the University to campaign for the removal of wearing Uniform as a necessity to University as there are no appropriate place to change. Students are not allowed to wear uniform off campus as there is University branding on it but were asked to get changed in the toilets. Until an appropriate facility is built at Uxbridge students no longer have to wear uniform unless absolutely essential for a session. 5. Pushed for Changing Room Facilities at Uxbridge Campus Historic need for changing rooms at Uxbridge. Students having to get changed in toilets or the cold breast-feeding room on the basement floor as there are no changing rooms like there are at Wycombe or Aylesbury. With the help from The Nursing and Allied Health School Officer, Amy Pile who pushed very hard for this change, Work began on the 25th of Jan in Uxbridge to provide changing facilities.

The future of Bucks FC
By James Saxby
Bucks FC
As a first year Bucks FC member and a hopeful second year captain I am taking my preparation for my first ever Varsity very seriously, I intend on making it a memorable one for the right reasons.
As a club we are launching a run for RAG initiative in a bid to obtain our accreditation, this consists of running 30 miles in the build up to Varsity in order to raise money for some fantastic charities, as well as improving the fitness of our players for the time Varsity rolls around. Working hard and aiming to win Varsity is a big goal of ours at Bucks FC and something we are all working towards, as not only is it a fantastic day out but we are competing with Bucks Men’s Rugby for Club of the Year at this year’s AU Dinner, and what better way is there to be in contention of winning Club of the Year than by winning all of our games on such a monumental occasion.
Bucks FC hasn’t just been about competing for me, I will be participating in the SMILE campaign in one of the forthcoming weeks in a bid to give back to the local community. My first year has been packed full of volunteering opportunities that I would have never thought about getting involved with before joining Bucks FC and being a part of the Students’ Union! Our overall aim within the club is to win Club of the Year as this will set a fantastic precedent for the upcoming 2022/23 academic year. Hopefully the freshers of next year will see the success we have achieved this season and will encourage them to get involved with the club off the pitch as well as on it.
As passionate as I am for football, I believe that creating memories off the pitch is just as important on the pitch, it is a vital aspect in making University a memorable experience, whether that just means coming to socials or volunteering their time it is just as important as turning up to games.

The rise of Bucks Basketball
February edition 103 By Leo Juster
Bucks Basketball
In the past few years, basketball hasn’t had a presence in the university, but this year we have seen a big jump in the team’s performances on and off the court. Currently sitting 3rd in the league with games in hand, the team have a shot at winning the league. “Our focus this year was to win it all, after our cup loss to Portsmouth back in November, we have become more determined to win the league. Training has become more intense, to prepare us mentally and physically for our upcoming fixtures. Off the court, we have become more involved with university projects and volunteering. This has not only helped us bond as a team, but it has also given us a chance to give back to the community and the university”. Dwayne Wilson (Captain)
The basketball team have indeed made their presence known this year, within the university, with player volunteering their time to help. Recently, the team went to a food bank, One Can Trust, to help and give back to the community helping to sort out donations that were coming to the warehouse. In a recent message to his team, Coach Sam Toluwase said: “I want to say how proud I am of you all. I know I push you... but it’s to see the best in the team. Not just as athletes but as young, smart men.”
Bucks Basketball is back and is on the rise! Sam has been a bright light to this team, pushing players to be the best they can be, his winning mindset is something he has imparted into each player on this fine squad.

Women’s Football
By Emma Dowding
Women’s Football It’s high time to get involved as the team grows!
This year women’s football has an increase in numbers, with all members being a great addition to the team. We are still on the hunt for a permanent coach but we have adjusted well with our committee members stepping in to keep the training sessions running smoothly. So far, we haven’t competed in any games or friendlies however, we are in conversation with other universities to arrange some friendlies in the near future! In addition, we are looking to organise a friendly with our rivals Roehampton so that our club is involved in Varsity. We have got involved with volunteering this year and achieved some good hours as a club so far. Nevertheless we are looking to improve this and get everyone involved with different types of volunteering that is provided by the students union. Finally, we are looking to put on more social events that everyone can get involved with. Anyone and everyone is welcome. So come and give it a go!
It’s a great way to socialise with people you would never cross paths with and have a laugh along the way

Fairtrade is the assurance that a set of standards are met throughout the production and supply of goods. There are two sides that benefit from these standards being upheld, the worker and the consumer. These standards include safer working conditions and fairer pay for workers while in turn we benefit from high quality and ethically sourced products. As a member of Bucks Students Union, we are fortunate to get involved with free sports, activities, and additional learning. We are also given opportunities to volunteer which in this case includes the
Smile Campaign, a yearly event held at the High Wycombe campus. The Smile Campaign is a chance to have a positive impact on the Wycombe locals by providing stickers containing Fairtrade facts and Fairtrade approved goods such as hot drinks, bananas, and flapjacks in exchange for a smile.
Sustainability UK (SOS-UK) have awarded Buckinghamshire New University on a yearly basis with the Fairtrade University and College Award. This award represents the ethical and sustainable practices brought to light and implemented by our student’s union and throughout the university.
For years now Bucks Students Union have been recognised by the Fairtrade Foundation for their conscious efforts to implement and promote Fairtrade within the university wherever possible. In turn, the Fairtrade Foundation alongside Students Organising for
We are looking for volunteers to help out and have fun for a fantastic cause. Please sign up to volunteer for the smile campaign which takes place on Monday 21 February and join us for an entirely free Fairtrade breakfast in the Students’ Union bar on Wednesday 2 March.
