Below you will find links to the forms for completing and submitting a Reflective Account or a Handover Document about your extra-curricular role at the Students' Union. Before completing the task, please make sure you first read the relevant guide in the Document Guides Section of the Students' Union HEAR webpage.

If you choose to produce a portfolio, this should be e-mailed as a pdf. attachment to the relevant staff member - please see the Portfolio Guide in the Document Guides Section of the Students' Union HEAR webpage for more information.

Producing a reflective account OR short portfolio OR (if applicable to your role) handover document is a compulsory task in order to gain recognition in Section 6.1 (the extra-curricular section) of your Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) for your commitment to all of the roles listed below.

You will see this sign - (H) - next to the role titles where producing a handover document is applicable. You only need to produce ONE of these documents to fulfil the document section of the HEAR criteria!

With the exception of Sports Club Committee Positions, all roles can choose which type of document they submit.

* Sports Club Committee Positions ONLY. All Sports Club Committee Members MUST submit a handover document.

If your role is not on the list below (and it is a role being recognised on the HEAR), you do not need to produce a document of any kind to gain HEAR 6.1 recognition.

Please go to the Verifiable Activities Search or read the relevant Role Guide to view the HEAR completion criteria for your role, or to find out if your role is being recognised on the HEAR.

Please do not submit a document if you do not wish to receive recognition for your role in Section 6.1 of your HEAR.

Please note that you cannot discuss more than one role on the same form. So if, for example, you are on a Working Committee and you are also a RAG Rep, you will have to submit two completely separate documents in order to gain recognition for both roles, but you do not need to complete the same type of document for both. So, you could submit a Handover Document for your Working Committee Role, and a Reflective Account to discuss your work as a RAG Rep.

Deadlines

Please make sure you submit your document by the deadline! No late submissions will be accepted. If you miss the deadline, you will not be able to gain recognition for your role in Section 6.1 (the extra-curricular section) of your HEAR. This is because we only have one opportunity to upload the necessary information to CiCS and we must meet our deadline!

If you have any questions about submitting your document, please email the HEAR Development Coordinator, Megan at megan.howlett@sheffield.ac.uk or ask at the Activities Information Desk in the Activities and Sports Zone.
