What is the ideas system?
The Ideas System is the easiest way to share your suggestions and vote on ideas from other students. When you submit an idea, the Student Voice Team and an Executive Officer will review it. We only decline ideas if they:
- Break the law
- Prevent us from meeting our charitable obligations
- Name or identify individuals (including staff)
- Contain defamatory or harmful content
If there’s an issue, we’ll contact you, explain why, and help you adjust the idea. You’ll also be told how to appeal.
Once approved, your idea is published for 10 working days, where students can give it a thumbs up, thumbs down, or comment.
What happens next?
-
If your idea gets under 50 likes:
Sent to the relevant Council to discuss. If they support it, they’ll start planning or developing policy.
-
50–99 likes:
Must be discussed by a Council. They may choose to act by creating a plan or policy for Leicester100.
-
100+ likes:
You can present your idea to Leicester100 (if you have a full policy). If not, a Council will create a policy or action plan with you.
You’ll be invited to any Council meeting where your idea is discussed, and you can be as involved as you like. If the idea becomes a policy proposal, the Council will help you build it—along with a handy guide.
Voting is simple
Just hit thumbs up or thumbs down on any idea. You can also comment and join the discussion.
