is particularly applicable with use of spaces. There are lots of people here to help, so if you are unsure of anything please ask before you act!

The Purpose of this Booklet Before going any further, there are a couple of important points to remember: • You and your fellow volunteers are the most important part of the Union and the work you do is greatly valued by the Union and the College. • You are also an ambassador for the the Union and the College, so make sure you are well behaved at events and on the internet, including social networking sites. • You aren’t the only users of the Union’s resources and we have to ensure there are enough to go around.

Imperial College Union The Role of the Union Imperial College Union plays host to around 320 Clubs, Societies & Projects, with a membership that covers around half of the students at Imperial. The Union is also the hub of academic representation when it comes to educational matters and raising concerns with College departments and staff. In order to do this, all students are automatically a member of a Faculty Union for undergraduates or the Graduate Students’ Union for postgraduates. There is also a myriad of other volunteer roles at the Union, from ones with a welfare remit, to others which are key to administering the finances of Clubs, Societies & Projects.

Who runs the Union? There are five Sabbatical Officers of the Union, including the President and four Deputy Presidents who are students elected annually to look after the Union. The Union is also supported by a team of permanent staff. Union Commerce The Union also oversees the running of three bars and a nightclub, as well as a newsagent and a shop both located on

Key Information Page 4 imperialcollegeunion.org/training

the Sherfield walkway. Overall, the Union has an annual turnover of over £5 million. Our websitewt imperialcollegeunion.org is also the most visited Students’ Union website in the country.


Your role This Key Information booklet is only one small part of the training which is available to support you in your volunteer role. All the information regarding training is available on the Union website at imperialcollegeunion.org/training, regardless of what your volunteer role is. Throughout the year, drop in sessions will be running at a variety of times and locations where you can come along and ask any question on anything connected to your volunteer role. There is more targeted training available depending on your role, some of which is mandatory. In 2013-14 the Union will launch its volunteer accreditation scheme to acknowledge the role you have within the Union and support you to develop key skills as a volunteer.

Requesting spaces to use For many activities you may want to use a room on campus. Depending on where you would like to book, there may be different processes in place. All the information about this and the various rules associated with using spaces is contained within Requesting Spaces training. This training is available as an eLearning module and is compulsory for anyone booking or requesting spaces. There are some rooms on the South Kensington campus that are managed by the College’s Conference Office rather than the Union. These rooms include the Great Hall, Queen’s Tower Rooms, the Seminar & Learning Centre and the Senior Common Room. If you wish to use these spaces then you should contact the Conference Office via the Student Hub. Many rooms on various campuses can be requested for Union groups and volunteers at no cost via the Student Activities Centre’s online request system, imperialcollegeunion.org/roombooking This is made possible through an agreement with the various College departments, as they are not obliged to let students use their spaces for nonacademic purposes.

Key Information Page 14 imperialcollegeunion.org/training

Imperial is fortunate enough to have many sports facilities, which can be booked for long and short term use by contacting the Sports Partnership Administrator. Room booking requests can only be made as late as two weeks in advance of the date you would like to book because of the amount of time it takes to process the high number of requests and various necessary approval stages. Only request to book as many slots as you need. There are many groups seeking to use space. Similarly, if you have booked a room and you subsequently find that you will not need to use it, please cancel your booking. Please note that you cannot make room bookings in your department’s building through the student office.


Requesting spaces to use cont... You must book spaces you wish to use – under no circumstances should you just turn up and start using a room.

Room Etiquette Always leave spaces tidy, regardless of the state in which you found them. Make sure you return the furniture to the agreed room layout, again regardless of the format in which you discovered it. I f you find a space in an unsatisfactory state then report it, otherwise you may receive the blame from the subsequent users. Treat spaces well, leave them tidy and don’t break anything. REMEMBER: What you do can affect every group’s use of a space.

Key Information Page 15 imperialcollegeunion.org/training


Organising activities & advertising Organising regular Events & Activities is something that most volunteers will spend a lot of their time in office doing. There is specific guidance available for organising different types of events online at imperialcollegeunion.org/ training. When going about planning your event or activity, identify what the aim or objective is. Is it a social event? Or to raise funds? It is important that everyone has this in mind for the subsequent planning stages.

Funding Events & Activities How is the activity or event going to be paid for? It may be the case that you have been allocated some money from the Union to support this, otherwise you may need to seek sponsorship or recoup the cost from ticket sales. Regardless of what method you use, you should complete an event budget and have this approved, guidance is given in the Event Budgeting training manual.

External Guests If you have invited a guest or speaker to your event, you’ll have to provide details of who they are when you submit your request for space, so that College Security know who is meant to be on campus. More information about approval of speakers can be found in Requesting Spaces training. Key Information Page 16 imperialcollegeunion.org/training

Food, drink, marshals & rights There are specific rules surrounding providing food and drink at events organised through the Union and on Imperial’s campuses, see the Requesting Spaces training for more details. For large events you may have to nominate marshals from within the organising team to assist with evacuating areas in the event of an emergency. Specific guidance regarding marshals is available online, and anyone acting as a marshal must undertake the Marshaling eLearning module to learn about their responsibilities. Performance rights must also be taken into account, so it


Organising activities & advertising cont... is important to read the small print - even for things like showing DVD’s in lecture theatres. It may be the case that you’ll have to pay for the use of copyrighted material. If you have any queries with regards to copyrighted materials please contact the Student Activities Manager. Careers events can be very beneficial to your student peers, but should be approached with caution. More information can be found on this topic by looking online at imperialcollegeunion. org/training. Some types of careers events are suitable to be organised by volunteers, others should be organised by the College Careers Advisory Service.

Publicity Good publicity is said to be worth about 70% of a successful event or activity, so it shouldn’t be underestimated. A set of publicity rules has been agreed between the Union and the College, these govern all types of publicity you may undertake, these are contained within the Publicity training manual. The College and Union have teamed up to harness the benefits of electronic advertising. If your group has got some photos or videos you would like to share, then you can upload photos to Flickr or videos to YouTube. Tagging these with #IMP150 may result in your group being featured in Union or College publications. There is more to advertising than posters though. You can afford to be really creative in this aspect, such as customising clothing or items related to your club activity. Also don’t forget the power of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and make sure you follow the Union @icunion. The ‘What’s On’ calendar on the Union website, imperialcollegeunion.org/whatson is a great way to advertise events. Have a look at the Publicity training manual for details.

Safety Safety must be an important consideration for every volunteer. Everyone has a responsibility for the safety of the people participating in events and activities.

to arrive quickly enough. They can also arrange for the emergency service to come to any campus if required.

What if something goes wrong? For every event or activity you organise a Risk Assessment should be in place. Risk Assessments are covered in the Principal Officers training, including where and how to submit them. The idea of a risk assessment isn’t to stop activities, but to ensure that you’ve thought how to minimise any existing risks, and thought through what you would do if an accident did happen and how you would manage the situation. This way, you won’t have to think on your feet in an emergency.

Activities on Campus If you are undertaking your activities on any campus at Imperial you are not required to fill in an activity registration, however there are specific rules and procedures that must be followed, these are outlined in the Requesting Spaces training and in the specific guidance for different types of events. However, if there is a problem, you can call security on 020 7589 1000 from any phone or dial 4444 from any internal handset. They can provide first aid or guide you through a situation on the phone if they aren’t able

Key Information Page 18 imperialcollegeunion.org/training

If an accident occurs off-campus there are a few simple things to remember and do: • Do call for help. The emergency number in the United Kingdom is 999. If you have travelled abroad, remember to look up the emergency number of the country you are going to before you leave. Give it to everyone in your group. • When the situation is stable, report the incident to College Security on 020 7589 1000. Security is manned 24 hours a day, every day of the year. • Do not talk to the press or admit liability for an incident. The Union should not find out about an accident from national newspapers! While this might sound serious, every year incidents do happen so it is crucial everyone knows what to do. Make sure you add the phone number for security into your mobile phone. You should submit an accident report form to the Student Activities Centre with 48 hours of your return.


Safety cont... Accident Reporting

Activity Registrations

In the event that an accident has occurred, it’s very important to report it. You do not get into trouble if you report an accident, but the aim is to prevent similar accidents from happening in the future.

Registration of activities is mandatory for all Clubs, Societies & Projects. The information provided will help the Union and the College in the case of an emergency involving participants of events or trips.

In order to do this you should fill in an accident report form. You can download these from the website imperialcollegeunion.org/accidents, or ask for one in the Student Activities Centre. There are accident report forms in the folders found in all minibuses.

The registration must be carried out online using eActivities, details are contained within the Trips & Tours and Principal Officers booklets. It will literally take two or three minutes.

Accident reporting is in line with College policy, which fulfills the College’s legal obligations in this area, so it is important that you comply with this procedure.

Key Information Page 19 imperialcollegeunion.org/training


Finance Any activities which are undertaken by volunteers which involve handling money must be operated through the Union’s finance system. This is a legal requirement and one you cannot avoid. You cannot start an external bank account for activities which you conduct as part of your role as a volunteer at the Union, particularly for your Club, Society or Project. The Union’s finance system fulfils all necessary legal requirements. It also offers free use of the online sales facilities through the Union’s website imperialcollegeunion.org. Most of the issues surrounding finances are concerned with Clubs, Societies & Projects. The systems for dealing with finances for volunteer groups are almost entirely online using eActivities, which is accessed online at eactivities. union.ic.ac.uk. There are various training materials and quizzes required to access all of the functionality within eActivities, they are all available online at imperialcollegeunion.org/training. Specific mandatory training is required for those who are responsible for groups with money or organise and run activities which cost or generate money. More information is available online at imperialcollegeunion.org/training.

Key Information Page 20 imperialcollegeunion.org/training

Don’t under any circumstances steal money or other items from the Union or its associated groups. The penalties are severe - this can be anything from a reprimand to a disciplinary hearing which can affect your continuation as a student of the College. The Union maintains a set of online transaction pages, you can view your Club, Society or Project’s online accounts at: eactivities.union.ic.ac.uk/finance/ reports/transactions These transaction pages are maintained by the Union’s Systems Coordinator and are based on the information you provide about your transactions. The content of the pages is the responsibility of the Union’s Clubs & Societies Finance Administrator. To understand the transaction pages, you must also understand the transaction code system which is discussed in the Transaction Codes training manual. The transaction pages are live and update after transactions are approved. Transaction lines will appear in different colours depending on the action and the status of the payment – if you believe a transaction is incorrect you should contact the Clubs & Societies Finance Administrator.


Finance cont... Reading the Transaction Pages To navigate to the transaction pages you will need to click on Finance, then Reports and then Transaction Pages from the main menu in eActivities. Click on the magnifying glass icon to open the search box, enter the name of your Club, Society or Project and click Find. The transaction pages for your Club, Society or Project will be displayed. The page will default to the tab for the current financial year, and a summary of the details for your Club, Society or Project. Click on the Transactions Summary tab to see an overall summary of the Club, Society or Project’s financial position, different tabs will appear for the various types of funding code. Click on the Transaction Lines tab to view details of each financial transaction in that funding code.
