CHANGING RELATIONSHIPS IN HE Students as customers ‘If you treat students as customers it will put the relationship between students and academics on the wrong footing – it should be a partnership between student and professional member of staff rather than a customer relationship, otherwise it will distort the relationship and create a ‘customer is always right’ mentality.’ (President of the NUS, 2008)

The learner voice We need a way to think about student representation in a way that is centred on people, on their perspectives, on the contribution they each make to the whole. This is what we mean when we talk about the learner voice. (Vice President HE, NUS, 2008) A community of learners The most effective higher education environments are ones in which students are diligently involved as part of a community of learners. (Chief Exec., HEA, 2008)

Would you like to support your School in improving learning and teaching? -What do you keep moaning about to your School, but never seems to get any better? -What really matters to you within your degree programme? - Are there issues discussed in your School’s SSLCs that need further attention? - What do you know about the learning needs of your peers? If you are interested in any of these questions, or have some of your own, why not join in a new and innovative research project. LEAFLET FOR STUDENTS
