Changes to USS were decided by the joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) of USS at its meeting on 10 May 2011 and approved by the trustee board at its meeting on 9 June 2011. Some of the changes affect current members, other impact employees who join the scheme after the effective date of October 1st 2011.
All members who have more than 12 months membership of USS will have recently received their annual service statement, which included a pullout entitled ‘Important Information for USS members’. This document includes all the information that you need to be aware of around the imminent changes to the scheme.
The USS website also provides further background to the changes.

160 young people aged 14 to 16 from across the Yorkshire and Humber region will be taking part in this year’s University of Bradford residential summer school programme. There are five academic strands which the students will be taking part in these include:- Chemical and Forensics Science, Medicine, Aviation, Engineering and Performing Arts. The summer school will be taking place at various locations on and off campus.
On Tuesday 26 July there will be a crime scene set up in the Atrium. This will mean an area of the Atrium will be cordoned off and signs will indicate this is a simulation. Access will be maintained to the coffee and Union shop but seating will be limited as the scenes will take in the main seating/ table area. The young people will also have the opportunity to take part in a range of fantastic evening activities which include Team building on the amp and the summer school ball.
