We followed up the recent Westminster Hall Debate on a legal #DutyofCare with more lobbying as Douglas Cave and Jacquie Shanahan, together with representatives of @ollysfuture.bsky.social, had a fruitful discussion with @liztwistmp.bsky.social, chair of the Suicide & Self-Harm Prevention APPG.

On Jan 13, MPs discussed the merits of a legal #DutyofCare in UK Higher Education in a Westminster Hall debate attended by LEARN and our friends @forthe100.bsky.social. Most MPs were firmly in support - disappointingly the Government is still treading a weary old line on 'unintended consequences'.

Yesterday MPs debated the need for a #StatutorydutyofCare in UK #HE. Here's our joint response with our @forthe100.bsky.social friends to the debate: www.thelearnnetwork.org.uk/post/mps-cal...

For those of you on #LinkedIn, we've just launched a LEARN Network page at www.linkedin.com/company/the-...

This morning members of @tlearnn.bsky.social & @forthe100.bsky.social will join MPs for a Westminster Hall Debate on the need for a statutory #DutyOfCare in UK higher education. Every year around 160 students take their own lives. You can watch the debate at: www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

Real food for thought here from a @uniofsurrey.bsky.social-led team investigating who is responsible for making our universities #SuicideSafe. Very pleased that The #LEARNNetwork has been part of this preliminary project that's likely to lead to further research. www.surrey.ac.uk/research-pro...

We're new to the Blue & want to connect with people/organisations working to prevent future deaths by suicide in #HigherEducation, the #NHS and the #workplace. We currently have members on the UK government's HE mental health taskforce #HEMHIT & shaping the #BSI's BS 30480 Suicide Awareness standard

Read our response to the National Review of #HEStudentSuicide deaths published in May. We support both pre/postvention recommendations, but the sector must do more & the gov must hold it to account by statute/regulation. We still await a gov response. www.thelearnnetwork.org.uk/post/nationa...
