Legal Briefing for Fossil Free Careers

A set of FAQs written by the law firm Bindmans LLP on the impact of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act on the Fossil Free Careers campaign:

"Does the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 change the ability of universities and Student Unions to exclude companies in certain industries from their recruitment activities and publications?

Generally speaking, the answer is likely to be ‘no’."

Fossil Free Careers Student Union Motion

Student Unions are a key democratic channel which students can use to bring about change at their university. We have written a template student union motion (and a guide to passing it) that you can use to gain the backing of your Student Union and build support for Fossil Free Careers on your campus.

Fossil Free Careers Workers Union Branch Motion

A Just Transition is one which puts workers, unions, and organised labour at the heart of decision making. If you are worker at university and part of a union branch, or know someone who is, then you can use our template union branch motion to link up struggles on campus and solidify student-staff solidarity.
