Grieving families say a new law that could force a “duty of candour” on UK universities is “full of holes”

Three years after the Government rejected a statutory duty of care in favour of voluntary measures, has anything actually changed? Or are things getting worse?

"I think it was the seventh or eighth suicide this year for this university which is extraordinary ... it's shocking"
"It seems a bit callous... a bit unfeeling"
Rest in peace, Harry Shields

A duty of candour would be very helpful for university staff as well as students.

BREAKING
Amendments concerning higher education providers have now been tabled to the Hillsborough Law Bill.
Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb has tabled amendments 64, 65, 67, 69 and 140, addressing which university functions should be treated as public functions.
For families who have spent years trying to establish what happened to their children, the question of openness and accountability is deeply personal.

Ethan Scott Brown took his life after being told he was ineligible to graduate from University of Glasgow

When a student dies, why must their family fight for answers?
The Hillsborough Law promises openness and accountability. But how will it apply to universities?
Parliament must clarify which university functions will be treated as public functions.

NEW on Wonkhe: With Washington's Supreme Court finding a university owed a duty over a fraternity hazing death, Bob Abrahart argues England's duty of care debate has skipped the prior question of what the university-student relationship actually is. wonkhe.com/blogs/a-washingto…
