Scrutiny Panel
As members of GSU you are entitled to know what your elected Officers are doing, and scrutinise their actions. The role of the Scrutiny Panel is to ensure the Officers do what they promised and are acting in the interests of Greenwich students. They check up on the progress of Officer Campaigns, and hold them accountable if it is not done. You can see their documents and the Panels below, and you can attend the next Panel through links at the bottom of the page.
Scrutiny Panellists for 2025/26
The scrutiny panelists are randomly selected volunteers from student representatives across Academic Representation, Student Groups and Liberation Networks.
The Scrutiny Panel is chaired by a Student Trustee and they oversee the meeting and facilitate the accountability session for the Officers, including giving feedback and actions for the next panel meeting.
The current panel is listed below, and if you have any questions you would like them to ask the Officers, then please feel free to e-mail them, or submit a question through our form.
