Our Student Well-Being Reference Group chaired by Helen Craigie has long been involved in discussions with this draft policy which is out there for feedback. Helen & Executive Liaison Trish Peters have led thorough and detailed feedback on this. They understand the underlying principles in the policy built on the research provided by Prof Donna Cross and are supportive of it, but like many of us, aren’t supportive of some of the strategies in the implementation.

Further discussions will continue and along with PC, Federation and P & C, we will be pushing for a longer consultation period to get this right.
