In our role as the recognised representative body for all Lancaster University students, LUSU often responds to national consultations to inform and influence national legislation and policy.

 

 
Housing: Consultation on the Non-Educational Code

In May, LUSU was one of the 41 organisations that responded to the consultation on the national code for assured accommodation.

This consultation was important as the rental sector prepares for the implementation of the Renters’ Reform Bill. You can read a recent update on the consultation and review here.

Equality: Consultation on the EHRC Code

In July, alongside many of our individual members and student groups, LUSU responded to the Equality & Human Rights Commission’s consultation on the revised Code of practice for services, public functions and associations. 

This consultation surrounded changes to the code brought about following the recent Supreme Court ruling in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers (For Women Scotland). The changes were wide-ranging and broadly linked to the right of people to access spaces and services based upon their sex at birth and/or lived gender.

Information about the consultation can be found here.
