Transforming Access & Student Outcomes in Higher Education (TASO).

We identify and disseminate effective practice in widening access and participation.
These findings reinforce the need for universities to take a proactive, evidence-informed approach to mental health and to ensure that trans and non-binary students – who face some of the most acute challenges – receive targeted and effective support.

🔹 Around 40% of trans students report mental health difficulties, far above the student average.
🔹 Mental health difficulties remain the leading reason students consider leaving university, underscoring the urgent need for targeted, effective support.

The findings are deeply concerning:

🔹 Over half of non-binary students report mental health difficulties, the highest rate of any group in the survey.
🔹 While the data shows that trans students' mental health improved between 2022 and 2023, these patterns reversed in the 2024 data.
