Academic Representation
This year we have adapted our Class Rep System by adopting a fully online approach, moving
our meetings, induction and training to Zoom spaces. Additionally we have introduced new
elements to ensure remote support was available to our reps which included introducing an
online forum for peer support as well as an online check in survey, sent out each block.

As a result, we have noticed a marked increase in the engagement from our reps this year with
many previous barriers to engagement being removed (days on or off campus, location of
meetings, etc.) Our new online forum has allowed reps to support and share best practice with
one another , cultivating further peer to peer engagement. Additionally, our check in system has
allowed us to monitor Class Rep local successes as well as make sure nobody is "left behind".
