Standing orders (Last updated: 18 October 2022)

The Articles are Durham SU’s foundation document and describe how Durham Students' Union's Assembly and democratic bodies are governed. The Standing Orders are created jointly by the Board of Trustees and Assembly, using powers under Article 57, and describe how we manage things, day-to-day. The Articles take precedence over the Standing Orders.
