How do I write and structure a motion? 

The motion is split into three parts and below are examples which explain what these sections mean:

This Union Notes 
This part of the motion requires an explanation of the situation currently and is required to set the scene for those unaware, the detail in this must be factual and correct at the time of submission and can include one or multiple points.

This Union Believes 
This part of the motion explains what is wrong with the situation explained in “Union Notes” the case for the motion and why you believe it should be submitted.

This Union Resolves 
This part of the motion is what you believe should happen or actions or steps the Union should take to resolve the issues raised by the motion.

Before you submit, check the motion is correct in both grammar and punctuation. It is possible when we check the motion that we may miss any errors. Also make sure you have the motion seconded by someone, if you can’t find anyone and you believe in the motion try and approach one of the Full time or part time officers or even one of the societies in which your motion relates to (If it does).

You can submit the motion via email to the Student Voice and Representation Manager at n.kumar@uel.ac.uk
