Committee Member Leadership Programme This year we are launching a Committee Member Leadership Programme aimed at developing you as a committee member to help you grow your experiences and skills. There are a number of sessions which are compulsory for committee members and then a number of workshops and training opportunities for committee members to choose from. Below outlines the programme. Committee members will be sent information as each session approaches.
Title Club Development Meeting 1 Mental Health in Sport Course Mini-bus driving training course
Detail Club development meetings to plan, implement and review the club development plan. The Student Minds Mental Health in Sport workshop is designed to increase knowledge and understanding of what mental health is and provide you with the confidence and skills to support teammates. A theory and practical based exam that qualifies you to drive a minibus. Students who qualify will be expected to drive clubs to and from games. A workshop to highlight common BUCS rules and how they can be applied. Students will be able to get specific advice about rules they are unsure of and there will be time spent on the playing under protest rules. The SU works for you, and they want to make sure your voices and opinions are counted. SU council is where students vote to bring in policy, so it’s important that you’re there to represent yourself and your clubs.
