It was fantastic to share insights on the four key areas in @universities-uk.bsky.social Action to Success plan. This initiative aims to unite universities, government, and partners to enhance access to higher education for those who need it most. (1/3)

Positive to see @universities-uk.bsky.social UCAS & @suttontrust.bsky.social come together. Consistency on contextual admissions and building greater understanding of offers with those supporting future HE students will be key to increasing access as in Scot www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/latest/news/...

We laid out the current issues (including 33% of working class students skipping meals to save on food costs) and options for reform here - www.suttontrust.com/our-research...

I really like this line from @ippr.bsky.social blog "This vision is [...] One that offers young people opportunity time and time again in the places they call home and the places they want to call home." A long way to go but recognising the importance of home is so important to social mobility

This is so true from @drrobphillips.bsky.social - extracurricular activities are SO crucial in the HE experience, but we so many students are cut out from accessing them - especially those who are studying without family support and therefore have to do much more paid work...(1/2)

Back home after 2 fabulous days with @unitefoundation.bsky.social team in Birmingham. Talking all things culture, strategy & topped off with escaping from @escapeliveuk.bsky.social with almost 5mins to spare 🙌

This is a great read from Peter Gray in todays @hepi-news.bsky.social blog on the impact (or lack of) financial bursaries and support. www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/01/29/m...

Hi @bsky.app community... back from maternity leave, feet under the table and keen to reconnect and keep ears and eyes open to what else is happening in the big wide world - especially around #careexeperienced #estranged #students and all things #highereducation
