About Better Staffs Forum

The Better Staffs Forum is a regular opportunity for students to make their voices heard on specific issues facing the Staffordshire University community. Over a period of about two weeks our Full-Time Officer Team will be out and about gathering information on the topic of the next forum, which might range from something more specific like your opinion on your timetable or how the cost-of-living crisis has affected you to something as general as what you'd do differently if you were in charge of the University.

After our Voice Team has crunched the numbers and used them to help paint a broader picture of the student voice, your anonymous feedback is presented along with the ideas submitted on this page at an open forum for students to decide the best route forward. All students are welcome - this is your chance to have your voice heard alongside the Officers and the rest of Rep Council!

Submit Your Ideas

How can we make a #BetterStaffs together?

Visual representation of how submitted ideas are processed. Described below.

Do you have an idea to make something better at your University, your Union or the world at large? Maybe you've got something brand new you'd like to see implemented, or the solution to a challenge students are facing. Whatever it is, add your idea below and share it with your peers to see what they think! Other students can comment on and ask questions about your idea, and up- or downvote your suggestion to help us understand how many people like your idea and prioritise what we do. These ideas are then reviewed at the next Better Staffs Forum to be implemented by your Officer Team and Student Representative Council!
