The Liberation Council is chaired by the Liberation Officer and aims to provide a space to highlight the voices of students from a variety of backgrounds, which are fed into the Students' Union's work. The council aims to remove barriers and works towards acheiving collective liberation. To bring an item to a Liberation Council meeting, you can email Aishwarya at su-liberation@le.ac.uk.
The Liberation Council aims to give students from liberation groups and minorities a greater voice at the University. The idea of this council is to formalise student discussions, build a liberation-focused discussion group within the SU and discuss ideas that give students a greater voice among senior staff. The future success of liberation projects here at Leicester lies completely with the students' voices. It is extremely important students involved in the process of navigating the forthcoming year as we build on improving our representation of minorities and protected characteristics groups at the Students' Union.
The Sustainability Network sits underneath the Liberation Council and it acts as a forum for students interested in working on the Students' Union's sustainability campaigns. To bring an item to a Sustainability Network meeting, you can email Reed at su-communities@le.ac.uk.
