Consultations

Why we consult

We undertake equality analysis (EA) to consider the likely effects of our policies and practices on different groups protected from discrimination by the Equality Act in order to create a more inclusive university.

We would like to consult and engage with students, staff, visitors and members of the public on issues, policies and strategies which are important to all of us at the University.

Current consultations

Proposed changes to student IT support

As part of the University Transformation Programme (UTP) there is a proposed digital shift in how students access IT Support. The proposed change will mean that students will be directed to online/digital channels as the primary method of accessing IT Support, including Web Chat, our web pages and phone. There will also be, for a short time, self-help touch screens at several locations to help with the transition.

The consultation period will finish on Friday 28 February 2025.

CATE Technical – Change Management Proposal

There is a need to restructure the CATE Technical team. The College has carried out its School Academic re-organisation, the technical re-organisation is the final phase of the College/School organisational project. Our technical transformation is about our whole programme, student and operational organisation meeting the demands of the future programme, the student learning experience and research support, organising ourselves to achieve our Strategy 2030 ambitions and build our resilience for the future. It’s about our academic and research quality and offer, it’s about our support for staff and students, and it’s about our reputation and standing as we strive to build a stronger future for UWE Bristol. Through this project we will build upon the UWE Technician Commitment values, implement the use of the Technical Family of Roles, review the school's technology direction, and bring together the wider College Technical communities' best practices by establishing common practices and alignment.
