University welfare strategies

With the number of first-year students "who disclose a mental health problem" having risen fivefold nationally, and suicide rates rising in parallel with the increasing economic and academic pressure on students, Nottingham Trent University`s wellbeing policies should be applauded (Campus confidential, 28.10.17). All universities should be instructed to provide details in prospectuses of their student welfare strategies, perhaps on the same page as where their vice-chancellors` salaries are disclosed.
