15 UO19 Casework Recording Best Practice PolicyCongress Notes:The vital need for a “Casework Recording Best Practice Policy” for MO’s. Taking into extreme consideration data protection legislation and HEI data protection policies. Congress Further Notes: The invaluable information provided by casework recording for data analysis in each academic year and the dire need for MO’s to have a guideline to data recording and safe keeping. Congress also notes: The benefit of liaising with support services in each HEI so that we may gain a greater insight into the issues students face each academic year. Congress mandates: The VP for Welfare to produce a Best Practice Guideline/policy for MO’s regarding the recording of issues faced by students. Taking into extreme consideration data protection legislation and HEI data protection policies. Congress further mandates: The VP welfare to investigate the feasibility for MO’s to liaise with support services in each HEI to gather necessary data to analyse key student issues in each academic year. in key aspects of union operations. 15 UO21 National Council DecentralisationCongress notesthat National Council was concerned at the level of disaffection felt by some MO's in regards to the centralisation of national council, and believed that this issue could have a negative effect constituting an emergency on the overall membership of USI. Congress recognisesthat the model of centralisation proposed at last year’s congress was meant to solve issues around MO's travel time to and from remote areas. Congress realisesthat although a good idea, the practicalities and cost of hosting USI national councils in hotels in a truly centralised location is not a feasible option. Congress notesthat the previous model of national council hosting was unfair to some colleges some of the time, whereas the new centralised structure was unfair to some colleges all of the time. Congress acknowledgesthat although we cannot return to the previous system, we must have an adequate solution that serves the interests of all members. Congress MandatesThe President to ask MO’s to apply to host each individual National Council, with fair operation, ensuring that a full cycle of the four regions must be concluded before an MO from a previous host region may reapply. Congress further mandatesthat these applications to host must be circulated by the USI President to all MO Presidents. The USI President should then facilitate a binding vote on the applications. 15 UO22 STRATEGIC PLANNINGCongress Notes:The fundamental importance of multiannual institutional memory in establishing clarity of mission and executing long-term goals in organisations such as Students’ Unions with rapid turnover of both officers and individual members. Congress Affirms:The role of USI as a leader of the student movement both by example and through empowerment of member organisations. Congress Therefore Mandates:The President of USI to spearhead the composition of a multiannual Strategic Plan establishing the core purpose, long-term vision and subsequent deliverables of USI that is based upon feedback, suggestions and data garnered from individual students, sabbatical and part-time officers in MOs as well as current and past USI officers. Congress Further Mandates:The President of USI to devise a clear, high-quality strategic planning framework to facilitate the establishment of this practice in MOs where it does not exist and its improvement in MOs where it is already in place. 15 UO23 Regional IssuesCongress Notes:That there is too few opportunities to discuss Regional Issues at National Council besides within a Working Group. Congress Believes:That regions can feel isolated due to USI being centered in Dublin, and regional Issues are not dealt with in time Congress Further Believes:That Regional Councils will promote and engage MOs further and be less costly for MOs. Congress MandatesThe Regional Officer to host regional councils within the region with the aim of submitting a report to council. 9C CARRIED RED SCRIPT TO BE REMOVED 15 UO28 3rd Party ProvidersCongress notes:The 11 Member Unions of NUS-USI from Further Education and Higher Education Institutions in the North. Congress further notes:That by virtue of the Tri-Lateral agreement that these members are also members of USI Congress believes that:While the majority of MOs and Officer Board are based in The South, no member should be disadvantaged because of the jurisdiction in which they are based. Congress mandates:USI Officer Board to ensure that wherever 3rd Party Services, Materials or Contact Information is provided to any MO that does not operate both North and South of the Boarder that a viable alternative is provided for whichever part of the island that the organisation does not operate in. 15 UO29 Campaign to encourage participation in full time Students’ Union electionsCongress notes The difficulty in getting students to engage with full time SU elections Congress Further notes The work already being done by MOs trying to increase participation
Congress applauds The work being done with the ‘Women for Election’ campaign
Congress mandates The VP for Campaigns to work with MOs in running a ‘ready-made’ campaign to encourage overall participation nationally but also be able be interpreted locally for individual MOs in full time elections and to equip them with the skills necessary to do so but also, to provide the support, aid and advice to MOs in preparing their own local election campaigns.
