Handover is when a group's outgoing committee prepare new committee members to take on their role.  

It is the outgoing committee’s responsibility to decide how the handover will be conducted. We recommend you start by using our template to create a written handover document and keep it saved in the student groups MS Teams channel for future committee to access. 

You should also think about: 

• Scheduling a one-on-one meeting with the person taking over from you.  

• Organise a social for both committees.  

• Introducing new members to important contacts e.g. SU staff 

 

Helpful information for a Committee Handover🌟 

 

✅Centralise a document within the groups MS Teams Channel with all externals contacts you may work with to make it easier for the group to continue activity and ongoing work you've been doing. 

 

✅Rember to Handover any student group Social Media accounts.  

 

✅If you have had any feedback from the year about what worked and maybe didn't include this information it helps the committee have a good place to start when planning activity. 

 

✅Don't expect them to know everything if there was information or a process that you may be found hard to learn include this as it's always helpful when starting a new role.  

 

✅Stay involved with the group! If you are stepping back because you don't have time to be a committee member that's okay but still get involved and support the new committee's activity! Equally if you are leaving uni you can always join a group as an Alumni or associate member and offer support.
