What is the Students Union Hull University Union (HUU) is the Students’ Union of the University of Hull. We are a registered charity. To comply with Charity Law we need a constitution which confirms what the aims of HUU are. We have to stay within the parameters of the Constitution in everything we do. The purpose of Hull University Union is the advancement of the education of students at the University of Hull. We will achieve this by: • Promoting the interests and welfare of students at the University of Hull during their course of study and representing, supporting and advising Members. • Being the recognised representative channel between students and the University and any other external bodies. • Providing cultural, social, sporting and recreational activities, opportunities to volunteer in the community and forums for discussion and debate for the personal development of its Members. The objects do not cover the provision of commercial businesses that we run. Charities are not allowed to trade so our shop, bars and entertainments form part of a trading company (HUU Services Limited) which gives all its surpluses to HUU, the charity, to help us meet our objectives above. The constitution can be viewed in more detail on our website: www.hullstudent.com/constitution HUU is a separate entity from the University of Hull. We are led by students for students with the help of staff and selected trustees.

Board of Trustees Governance of HUU is carried out by a Board of Trustees. The composition of the Board includes six Sabbatical Officers (students) and four external Trustees selected for their skills and experience. There are also four Student Trustees, who are elected by the student body. The Board meets approximately four times per year at regular intervals to coincide with important times in the planning and reporting cycle (Annual Report and Accounts/Annual General Meeting/budgeting/Sabbatical handover). The Chief Executive acts as Secretary and advisor to this body. The role of the Board of Trustees is detailed in the Constitution. The Board’s main duties are:• ensuring there is an appropriate mission, vision and values for HUU • approving strategy • meeting financial requirements of the Charity Acts and approving and monitoring planned income and expenditure; setting limits of monetary expenditure by individuals and committees • ensuring long term financial stability of HUU • ensuring resources are available to suitably staff HUU to meet the strategy • consulting regularly with the membership regarding strategy • reviewing regularly the performance of the Union Executive Committee and to act upon recommendations of Union Council • removing Trustees who contravene Charity Law • ensuring all recommended policy meets the objects of HUU, its strategic and financial plans. Governance is the process of ensuring an organisation operates effectively, that it has a clear mission statement and strategy. However, governance is not necessarily about doing the work; rather, it is about making sure that things
3
are done. It is about making sure that the organisation has clear aims and priorities, policies and procedures but not necessarily carrying them out. It is ensuring that the organisation is managed effectively, but not doing the managing. It is about making certain that the organisation has appropriate systems, but not necessarily about developing them. It is about ensuring that the organisation has sufficient resources (people, equipment, expertise, etc), although not necessarily about providing them. The Board concentrates much of its time looking at the future and positioning HUU so that it can continue to meet the needs of all our student members on a continuing basis.

Union Executive Committee The Union Executive Committee (UEC), which consists of 6 full time Sabbatical Officers, is responsible for implementing the vision, mission, values and strategy set by the Board of Trustees. The work of UEC focuses on representing students and offering organisational leadership.
Our Vision “Our vision is that we aspire to be one of the leading Students’ Unions in the country which we shall measure by being accredited with and retaining a Gold Award in the Students’ Union Evaluation Initiative (SUEI) by the end of 2014.”
Our Mission ”In everything we do, HUU will be our members’ first choice every time” We have a wide range of services and a diverse student membership. We seek to have our members choose to use our services before others.
Our Values • Safety - our premises and services will be open to all members without fear or favour. • Diversity and equality - we shall welcome all members and treat them all equally as a member. • Democracy – our members will have ownership of the Organisation. • Representing – we shall support our members when they need help. • Quality – we shall aim to do the best we can in everything we are involved in. • Fun – when our members are socialising, we shall help them have fun. • Supporting – we are here to support our members whenever they need help and advice. The UEC will be expected to communicate progress with the strategy and plans and consult regularly with the Zones, Union Council and the membership. The UEC meets regularly to monitor progress, agree plans and campaigns and deal with day to day issues of our members. 5
What are Sabbatical Offifi cers Sabbatical Officers are elected by the student body to undertake a number of roles within HUU: • Trustee – As members of the Board of Trustees, they carry out the duties described before (see Role of the Board of Trustees). • Representative – each officer will contribute to the work of UEC in ensuring the collective voice of our student members is heard by the University, the local community and nationally. All positions involve representing students on University committees. In the case of the President, VP Education and VP Welfare a significant part of the role is spent working with the University to improve our students’ experience. • Leader - of different zones within HUU (Governance, Education, Welfare & Community, Activities, Sport and Scarborough Campus). There are six sabbatical officers: President, VP Sport, VP Education, VP Welfare & Community, VP Activities and VP Scarborough.
What are the Zones To help them deliver their plans, each Sabbatical Officer has a committee called a Zone. For those students who want to take on a voluntary role within these areas, there are many positions within each zone which suit a variety of interests. There are 5 Zones in HUU: Governance, Education, Welfare & Community, Activities and Sport. In Scarborough, the Vice President implements our plans with the help of the Scarborough Executive Committee.
Union Council Union Council acts as a scrutiny body and sounding board to discuss policy. In order to scrutinise the performance of the Sabbatical Officers and the individual members within their zones, the Union Council meets twice a semester and comprises the members of each zone, plus eight Councillors for Scrutiny and Faculty Co-ordinators who sit on University Senate. All positions elected in Week 5 of Semester 2 are members of Union Council.

Students’’ Union Evaluation Initiative (SUEI) “Our vision is that we aspire to be one of the leading Students’ Unions in the country, which we shall measure by being accredited with a Gold Award in the Students’ Union Evaluation Initiative (SUEI) by the end of 2014” - HUU Strategic Plan. We achieved the Gold Award in July 2011. SUEI is an assessment model that assists in improving the representation, services and activities delivered to members of the Union by indicating areas for continuous improvement. SUEI focuses on the impact we make meeting our mission, vision and values. The core values of SUEI are: EMPATHY: Reflect the interests of all sections of the membership DEMOCRACY: Consistently connect with the membership DIVERSITY: Apply the principles of equality and diversity LEARNING: Listen and Learn OPENNESS: Always work in an open and transparent way BEHAVIOUR: Promote a high standard of behaviour by and amongst elected representatives and staff. The model follows 5 key themes: 1. What’s so special about the Union? 2. What is the Union aiming to achieve? 3. Is there good people management? 4. Are there quality outcomes? 5. What underpins this quality? It is important that all student officers, trustees and staff have this same vision and are keen to support HUU as we push to maintain Gold.
