UK Universities have no statutory obligation to care about their students.
But we’re here and we care.
Trigger warning: mentions of suicide and traumatic experiences.
‘Higher education providers owe a duty of care to their students.’ This is the one line of text needed in legislation to ensure UK Universities act reasonably and responsibly - that’s it, that’s is all we’re asking for.
ForThe100 want the safety of our students to be a legal must.
In alliance with:
We’re like you: mums, dads, brothers, sisters, friends, families, young people, old people, students… from all walks of life. And, like you, we want students across the UK to be protected.
But not everybody is safe at university.
You might be thinking: students pay a lot of money to get a university education, and a commitment to act in a way that puts students first is included in the fees?
But you’d be wrong.
We want the safety of our students to be a ‘legal must’. It is not negotiable! We want to put a stop to students being treated as if they do not matter.
That’s why we’re fighting.
What is ForThe100?
We’re fighting…
For the 100s psychologically harmed by their universities.
For the 100s who suffer from the poor decisions made by their universities.
For the 100s of families and friends struggling through grief.

Trigger warning: mentions of suicide and traumatic experiences.
Students are entitled to be well treated, without a Statutory Duty of Care everything is optional not mandatory.
25 bereaved families originally petitioned parliament calling for universities to have a legal duty of care towards their students. For The 100 picked up the reins as part of a wider alliance covering a broader range of issues that would be resolved by this Statutory Duty of Care.
