The LEARN Network

🧵The recently-launched APPG on suicide and Self Harm Prevention's 's Inquiry into #YoungPeopleandSuicide gives a clear voice to young people, highlighting the troubling barriers they face when asking for help - e.g endless waiting lists & being told they're not ill enough. 1/4

Pleased to see @Jacqui_Smith1 & mental health campaigner @campbellclaret on #BBCQT this week. On the eve of the release of the 2nd #HEMHIT report into supporting student mental health, it would be good to know their thoughts on why #HE still has no #dutyofcare for students

As part of their work in #HEMHIT, #LEARNNetwork members @LeapfrogMark @LeeFryatt Jacquie Shanahan and Manju Patel contributed to the Compassionate Communication Commitment in #HE. Now we need the government to provide some legislative/regulatory teeth to underpin it.

Are you with us @LaylaMoran @timfarron @SarahGreenLD @EdwardJDavey @libdemdaisy @munirawilson? #SDoC

Lobby your Prospective Parliamentary Candidates for a #StatutoryDutyofCare for students in #HE- please share this message with your constituency candidates - we need their support for the next Parliament to push for legislation - and share it widely with friends & family too.

A year on from delivering our 128k signature petition calling on the government to legislate for a #StatutoryDutyofCare for students in #HE, several parents bereaved by suicide retraced our steps yesterday. It was a chance to reflect and plan for the year ahead. We persist.

Powerful statements from the parents of #NatashaAbrahart following today's #HighCourt judgement.

We have now issued a TLN response to the first #HEMHIT report published this week. In short, some progress, but still weak on transparency and measurement - and pursuing the wrong target. #MentalHealth, #SuicidePrevention #HigherEducation, #StudentSafety #DutyofCare
