🔥 The Question We Can’t Ignore
Would we accept this level of loss in schools?
Would we accept it in the workplace?
So why do we accept it in universities?
Students deserve safety and protection — not platitudes.

Student suicides are widely reported — rightly so, or nothing would change
University staff also die by suicide, often due to bullying or excessive workload

Way back in 2012 I had a breakdown while working at Cardiff University; therapy provided by the Staff Counselling service helped greatly in my recovery. A few years later the Management scrapped the Counselling service. That's probably the reason for the poor scores on mental health support.

Despite progress, there’s still no legal guarantee of student safety.
