Safety is your number one priority! In order to run a society or committee you have a duty of care in law to ensure the safety of your members and any other people who may be affected by your activities and events.

All Presidents will have electronically signed a 'Society/Committee Agreement' which is attached to the committee details form that you submitted after you were elected. This is confirmation that you've read and agree to the Students' Union's rules and safety regulations. You can read these here

• Rules and Safety Handbook
• Alcohol & Societies Code of Practice

Trips and Bar Crawls

If organising a trip or bar crawl (for over 100 people) complete the relevant trip form or event plan and send to Zoe (z.r.speakman@sheffield.ac.uk). You must also adhere to the relevant standard risk assessment. If you are organising a residential trip abroad, you must book a meeting with Zoe to produce a trip form and risk assessment.
