This conference focuses on provision of mental health support for students in higher education. With DfE setting the target for all universities to sign up to Student Minds’ University Mental Health Charter Programme by September 2024, the conference will bring together policymakers, regulators and stakeholders to discuss the development of a whole-university approach to improving student mental health.

Key area for discussion: duty of care: options for an HEI statutory requirement - potential implications for both students and universities - issues related to GDPR and student confidentiality requirements
