The Consultative Fora are a set of meetings that take place above the departmental Staff Student Liaison Committees (‘SSLC’), where students from across the whole of the LSE come together and discuss issues that have affected students within their department.
What IS consultative forum?
This is a crucial forum for highlighting and raising issues which are taking place across multiple departments, and those that may need a solution above the departmental level. Reps in the Forum also have the opportunity to hear from and hold to account the various service areas who work across the School within these meetings.
