This week on Wonkhe: Drawing on the findings of a pan-European study on mental health in universities, Kate Lister calls for more robust policy and practice frameworks to enable wellbeing support for university staff Professor Kate Lister wonkhe.com/blogs/helping-…

Palming your staff off with a generic app or list of websites doesn't count! As Professor Kate Lister says, 'There should also be a culture in which staff and student wellbeing is genuinely valued by leadership instead of being entirely outsourced to Employee Assistance Programmes.'

It's time for change. Something's got to give. Elena Riva and I explored this in our report, and it's not just the UK, this is a global issue.

Staff wellbeing is crucial for student wellbeing, yet as Elena Riva and I found in our report for the European Commission, it is both overlooked and undervalued in HE. It's time for change!
