Student Voice

Here are some good ways to ask students for their views on a particular topic:

1. Noticeboards - most schools in the College have noticeboards which are highly visible to students. You can use these noticeboards to post info about issues.

2. Gatherings - no communication is more effective than when it's face-to-face. If you have a large group, try organising small focus groups to discuss important issues.

3. Social media - almost everyone uses social media, so it's a great place to publicise what has been discussed in your meetings. If you don't already have a course group on Facebook, why not set one up! You could also use Snapchat, TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter.

4. Online surveys - Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, or Survey Monkey are a great way of quickly gathering opinions - and they're all free to use. This info collected can help support your arguments when presented at meetings.

5. Emails are a good way to contact all of the students on your course, to find out key issues.
