Student Voice Forum (SVF)
The Student Voice Forum (SVF) is a mechanism by which students and staff can communicate and obtain feedback about all aspects of the BPP experience including the programme, facilities, student welfare, careers, activities and pro bono.
The SVF is made up of student representatives from every tutor group on every programme at BPP who are nominated at the start of the year. These representatives meet with staff in order to raise issues or concerns, suggest improvements to the course content and structure, and offer feedback on new initiatives.
The role of an SVF representative includes:
- To promote careers and pro bono events and initiatives to fellow students by making announcements within classes;
- To direct colleagues to careers events and student support resources that are available on the Hub/VLE or www.bppstudents.com website;
- To advocate their peers views at SVF meetings with programme leaders and staff;
- To liaise with the members of the Students’ Association team and keep them abreast of any issues;
- To keep students informed of the outcome of SVF meetings.
Minutes from SVF meetings will be regularly reviewed by the Students' Association team and the actions agreed with the Schools tracked. Students are welcome to contact their Programme Leaders should they wish to view the relevant SVF minutes.
Those who would like represent your peers as a SVF Representative should make this known to their personal tutor or programme team who will provide further details on how to apply.
