This is an important report from @NCISH_UK. #StudentSuicide numbers are not dropping. We need @jacqui_smith to make this research a process, not a snapshot, repeating it at least every two years to track #HEP plans into action to prevent future suicides among #HE students. – at Abingdon, England
Our @NCISH_UK conclusions and recommendations to help prevent future deaths are focused on (1) safety concerns, (2) suicide prevention within university systems, (3) amendments to the UUK/PAPYRUS/Samaritans guidance, and (4) safety messages for the wider system

Infographic summary of our report today on student suicide.
We want universities to see students struggling academically as possibly struggling with mental health.
Suicide safety is about compassion, culture & leadership.

I'm quoted in this piece in @timeshighered on behalf of @TheLearnNetwork on the National review of #StudentSuicides.
Bereaved families say they feel “vindicated” after a major report concluded they had been “excluded” by universities during investigations into student suicides, with institutions frequently “evasive and reluctant to answer important and painful questions”

A considered report from #Wonkhe on #NationalStudentSuicideReview. As a parent bereaved by student suicide, it's sad to see the situation has changed little in the past 7 years since we lost Rory. We need a legal #DutyofCare now. wonkhe.com/blogs/a-review-of… – at Abingdon, England

This is what student advocacy actually looks like.
Not shouting. Not grandstanding.
Just a clear, calm request:
‘Can we meet?’
That’s how accountability begins.

We have developed 4 modules, the first one is aimed at anyone with an interest in understanding suicide, the other three modules go into more depth into the psychology of understanding and preventing suicide #Science2PreventSuicide

The Lib Dem’s have, introducing a statutory duty of care for all students in higher education on their manifesto.are the Labour Party considering this? #forthe100
The LEARN Network retweeted
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.

The unfortunate suicide of a student at Bristol University has drawn attention to the lack of a statutory duty of care owed by providers of higher education to their students.

Good to see my MP @LaylaMoran on #bbclaurak this morning. She supported our campaign for a #StatutoryDutyofCare for students in #HE last year. The need remains urgent. Hopefully this year she'll keep pressing our case with new minister @LukeHall. – at Abingdon, England

Congratulations on your appointment as education Minister @LukeHall - we look forward to your support in driving for a #StatutorydutyofCare for students in #HE - voluntary measures involving discretionary spend in a sector with massive financial challenges just don't make sense.
