The Sound Impact Audit

Last Wednesday, the Guild was visited by Catherine Dishington from NUSSL who audited us for the Sound Impact Award.

Catherine checked we had supporting evidence for the criteria we awarded ourselves in the self-assessed workbook (submitted mid-December) and overall Catherine confirmed that we indeed achieved the 307 points that we thought we had achieved.

This would have put us in the top three Unions last year and earned us a Gold Award. However, most Unions have upped their game since then and it is only the three highest-scorers who get the illustrious Gold!

But the audit was very promising. Unions are also asked to submit any other random environmental best practise that they undertake in the final Bonus Section. None of this will be marked until nearer NUSSL Convention but it does allow us some scope to gain extra points!

We won't know for sure what award we have achieved until Convention on the 18th March.

But watch this space and I'll keep you all informed as usual :D
