Standing order amendments entailed:
Standing orders 2.5 [The Welfare officer]: […] Potential welfare responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, confidential discussion, referral of students to appropriate college and university services, and the organization of events that promote welfare and equal opportunities (examples may include, for example, events that do not centre around alcoholic consumption, family-friendly events, LBGT+ swaps or physical activities such as yoga classes) as they are needed or requested. The Welfare and Equalities Officers shall also be in charge of organising a Consent Workshop during Fresher's Week, to which attendance shall be compulsory. The officers will ensure attendance is monitored and reported to the rest of the committee, which will reserve the right to refuse to permit non-attendees signing up to MCR events. If any member of the Committee has an advocacy issue about which they are particularly passionate, they shall make this known publicly so members know to whom they may address their concerns should members not feel comfortable with approaching the welfare officer directly. In these instances, the same principles of confidentiality expected of the welfare officer shall be extended.
