Due to personal circumstances, we regret to announce that Katie Hickmott and Lauren Atkin-Hill have stepped down from their roles as Vice President Student Voice and LGBTQIA+ Student Representative respectively.

We are very sad to see Katie and Lauren leave – it has been a pleasure working with them and they have been tremendous members of our Student Leadership Team. We wish both Katie and Lauren all the very best for the future.

There are currently no plans to run a co-option for the Vice President Student Voice role, and this vacancy will be covered by our existing SLT members. We will continue to monitor the VP Student Voice mailbox, so please continue to send any queries related to student voice to oustudents-VP-voice@open.ac.uk.

We are currently deciding on a recruitment plan for the LGBTQIA+ Student Representative role, but in the meantime we will again be monitoring the LGBTQIA+ Rep mailbox. Please send any relevant queries to oustudents-LGBTQIA@open.ac.uk.
