Consultative Forum

What are the consultative forum? 

The Consultative Fora are a set of meetings that take place alongside the departmental  Staff  Student  Liaison  Committees  (‘SSLC’),  where  students  from each department of the LSE come together and discuss issues that cut across campus with staff from central teams. 

This is a crucial forum for highlighting and raising issues which are taking place across multiple departments and those that may need a solution outside 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.
