Submit Agenda Items or Policy Feedback For Discussion:
If you have any issues with anything related to process, policies, procedure for CSP's we recommend you discuss this with your Management Group or Constituent Union who can submit agenda discussion points on your behalf. If you don't have an MG/CU committee, you can submit them directly below yourself. We will also share policy updates for feedback which you can add feedback on using the form below.

(As it is likely that we will have submissions similar in nature, and for the sake of board efficiency we will condense, combine and summarise the submissions we receive. We each theme or combined piece of feedback/agenda item we receive, we will ensure the board is aware of the number of submissions we received on the topic to ensure the depth of the problem or feedback is understood)
