In April 2021, The Open University published its new Advocacy Policy: Representing a student’s interests for the first time. This policy was based on previous Advocacy: guidelines and procedures, dated June 2017
This policy describes how The Open University enables a student to be represented by someone else on their behalf, called an Advocate, for times when a student is unable or unavailable to represent themselves.
Please talk to your Student Support Team if you need any further information. You can find out how to contact them on Contact the OU.
