The mental health of both students and staff in higher (HE) and further (FE) education is a serious concern.
The government and the sector have rightly made tackling poor student mental health a priority.
The government has set up a student mental health taskforce, Universities UK has developed a framework on mental health, and StudentMinds has developed a government-backed University Mental Health Charter.
The British Psychological Society has endorsed the Charter and these other initiatives and applauds the work of our partners.
