Update from the UPSU Team

May 22, 2020

An update from UPSU President, Helena Schofield:
I had a meeting with the Director of Estates and Campus services who said she would enquire with First buses about the costs and feasibility of introducing this. No update on this due to Covid-19. However, I also had meetings with members of the local council and police department which resulted in getting sabbatical officer representation on safeguarding groups.
