Campaigning ForThe100 ~ Higher education providers owe a duty of care to their students. It’s that simple. We want students safety to be a legal must. 💛

Students mistreated by their University should contact their MPs

There is backbench debate on statutory duty of care on 13 January 2026

Leave MPs in no doubt as to the failure of universities to safeguard staff & students

[21group @21percentgroup]

An investigation into behaviour of universities is unavoidable

MPs will now debate whether universities should be subject to statutory duty of care

Cue Vice Chancellors insisting that such protection is unneeded😉

After exhausting internal avenues, some students are forced to appeal to regulator or courts

Both financial & human cost is high

@21percentgroup @ForThe100_ @Dying4aDegree I find this student case unbelievably sad. It's the second time this has happened in the UK. Mared Foulkes also died as a result of receiving the wrong exam results information.

New study shows stark gaps between student groups at risk of suicide

The new data from the ONS did not, however, look at why there were such discrepancies between demographics when it comes to student suicide, writes @OsoSabioUK
